Stourport-on-Severn, often shortened to Stourport, is a town and civil parish in the Wyre Forest District of North Worcestershire, England, a few miles to the south of Kidderminster and down stream on the River Severn from Bewdley.
Stourport came into being around the canal basins at the Severn terminus of the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal, which was completed in 1768. In 1772 the junction between the Staffordshire and Worcestershire and the Birmingham Canal was completed and Stourport became one of the principal distributing centres for goods to and from the rest of the West Midlands. The canal terminus was built on meadowland to the south west of the hamlet of Lower Mitton. The terminus was first called Stourmouth and then Newport, the final name of Stourport was settled on by 1771.
In 1870 the Cast Iron Stourport Road Bridge across the Severn was built. It currently carries the A451 road and was refurbished in 2007. In the area close to Stourport there are several large manor and country houses, among which Witley Court, Astley Hall, Pool House, Areley Hall, Hartlebury and Abberley Hall (with its clock tower) are particularly significant. Hartlebury was the residence of the Bishops of Worcester from the early 13th century until 2007, and Astley Hall was the home of Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, who died here in 1947.
In 1968 the Transport Act designated the canal a Cruise way” for pleasure purposes. In 1944, this was the location of a famous address to the troops, by USA General George S. Patton. The George Gilbert Scott church replaced an earlier brick church of 1782 by James Rose. This building was never finished, and after suffering storm damage, had to be partly demolished. The current St. Michael's church sits partially within its ruins. The Font was salvaged from the ruins of the old church, and is still used in the current building.
The population of Stourport rose from about 12 in the 1760s to 1300 in 1795. In 1771 John Wesley had called Stourport a well built village but by 1788 he noted that where twenty years ago there was but one house; now there are two or three streets, and as trade increases it will probably grow into a considerable town. In 1790 he found the town twice as large as two years ago. With the completion of the Worcester and Birmingham Canal in 1816, the revenue of the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal plunged sharply and from 1812 the population of Stourport scarcely rose, with many male workers leaving the town.

Tewkesbury to Twyning by River Boat, Gloucestershire, England
A family day out on the River Avon from Tewkesbury to Twyning, Gloucestershire, England; filmed on location by me during our visit to Tewkesbury. On leaving Tewkesbury by boat the first leg of the river is manmade and connects to the river Avon. This part of the river being constructed in the 12th Century was built by the Benedictine monks, from the Monastery in Tewkesbury Abbey and used to supply water to the water wheels built by the Abbey.
A little further down the river and on the left, just before King John's Bridge, Tewkesbury lock can be seen and is unique in the UK as it locks two navigable rivers together, the Avon and the Severn. King John's Bridge, which dates back to the 12th Century, is the oldest bridge on the river Avon. The gardens seen on the right, just before King John's Bridge, are the beer gardens of the oldest pub in Gloucestershire, the Olde Black Bear, dating back to 1308.
Shortly after passing King John's Bridge the river out of Tewkesbury joins the river Avon proper; and just beyond this is Tewkesbury Marina, one of the largest land marinas in the UK with births for over 300 boats.
The boat trip stops off at The Fleet Inn, Twyning, Gloucestershire, for everyone to have a quick lunch and refreshing drink, with an opportunity to observe the ducks and swans, before the boat makes the return journey back to Tewkesbury where on this occasion we pass two canoeists traversing the river just after we pass Tewkesbury Marina.
