Claines

Claines is a small village just to the north of Worcester, in the Worcester district, in the county of Worcestershire, England, on the east bank of the River Severn. Claines is situated in the heart of Worcestershire on the A449 between Worcester and Kidderminster. It has a church which dates from the 10th Century. In 1881 the parish had a population of 10,212. On 30 September 1885 the parish was abolished and split to form North Claines and South Claines. It is now part of the unparished area of Worcester. Although not part of Claines itself the Worcester suburb of Cornmeadow Green, which is adjacent to Claines village, is generally referred to as Claines, a result of when the area was once historically part of Claines Parish prior to Worcester expanding and various administrative boundary changes many years ago. Claines is known for The Mug House, one of only two pubs in a churchyard in England. Pineau De Re, the 2014 Grand National winner, was trained at Claines and is also stabled there. The Claines village name signs were replaced by Worcestershire County Council in 2014 to recognise the win and connection to the village.
