Wormington is a village in Gloucestershire, England. It lies on the River Isbourne, 5 miles (8 km) north of Winchcombe and 6 miles (10 km) south of Evesham.
Wormington was an ancient parish, and became a civil parish in 1866, but in 1935 the civil parish was abolished and merged into the parish of Dumbleton.[1]
St Catherine's parish church is reputed to have been built in 1475 by the abbot of Hailes Abbey on the site of a 12th-century church. It is a Grade II* listed building.[2]
Wormington Grange, a mile south of the village but just over the parish boundary in the neighbouring parish of Stanton, is a Grade II* listed country house.
