Hopton Wafers is a small village and civil parish in Shropshire, England, near to Cleobury Mortimer and Kidderminster. Its unusual-sounding name is derived from Old English hop (a side valley running off a larger valley, originally from a Celtic word) and tun (farm or settlement), along with the name of Robert de Wafre, an early holder of the manor.[1]
The village church, St Michael and All Angels, was built in 1825: a Norman church had previously stood on the site, but had become dilapidated. The works were funded by Thomas Botfield, who had purchased the manor in 1812.[2]
There is a pub in the village, the Crown.[3]
