Village Life
Hallow has a lively social and sporting scene with Hallow Village Community Group staging events and social activities for all age groups during most of the year. Many such activities take place on Hallow Playing Field and the Village Green – both of which are owned and maintained by the Parish Council. The Parish Council also maintains the Old Church Yard and the area beyond the Playing Field known as Holly Bank where equipment is provided for children and young people too large to use the play facilities next to the Parish Hall.
Local events, groups and activities can be found on the Hallow Community Group website, please take a look at all Hallow has to offer.
These walks are to introduce you to some of Hallow’s footpaths.
We hope, in time, that they can all become stile free.

Project Pavillion
The present Hallow pavilion is in desperate need of replacement:
Working with key users and the village as a whole we intend to replace the pavilion. We are making progress (as at June 2024), have commissioned plans and are working on costings. It's a long process and we want to take every opportunity to make this a real asset for the the village and residents of Hallow.
If you would like to comment or make any suggestions, please email the Parish Clerk - hallowparishcouncil@gmail.com
There are 3 broad options:
• Classical
• Modern
• Traditional.

Hallow History
The earliest records of the village’s existence date to 816 A.D. during the reign of Coenwulf of Mercia when Hallow belonged to Worcester Cathedral. By the middle of the 11th century the ownership had changed to Worcester Priory and it is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 that Hallow had two mills. In the 1970s flint
axe heads were found in the village which indicates human presence from the Paleolithic period.
The village is the birthplace of Lord Nuffield (Founder of the Austin Morris car manufacturer) and the diplomat and historian Stewart Perowne. During the 1680s Hallow was the home of William Careless who helped Charles II by hiding him in the oak tree.
Hallow has an active History Group, a thriving Scouts Group and W.I., a well-supported church community and many footpaths with which to take in the splendour of the views of the surrounding countryside with the Malvern Hills visible to the South West and Woodbury Hill to the North West.
