Eaton Bishop
Eaton Bishop is a village and civil parish in Herefordshire, England. It lies to the west of Hereford, close to the A438 road.
The parish includes the hamlets of Credenhill Park, Tillington Common, and part of Three Elms. Its history can be traced back to the Domesday Book, where it is listed as "Etune". The name "Eaton" is derived from Old English, meaning "farmstead by the river," referring to its location near the River Wye. The addition of "Bishop" distinguishes it from other places named Eaton and denotes the village's historical association with the Bishop of Hereford, who held the manor.
The parish church, dedicated to St Michael and All Angels, is a Grade II* listed building. It features Norman architecture, including a notable tympanum above the south door. The church has undergone several restorations and additions throughout the centuries.
