Kyre is a small village and civil parish in the Malvern Hills district of Worcestershire, England, about 3.5 miles (6 km) south-east of Tenbury Wells. Other settlements in the parish are the hamlets of Nineveh (not to be confused with the Nineveh in Bayton parish) and Kyre Green.[1]
Kyre is marked on some maps[2] as the area around Kyre Park and the Grade II* listed St Mary's Church.[3]
The parish shares its parish council with the neighbouring parishes of Stoke Bliss and Bockleton. Kyre Minor and Kyre Wyard were both in the upper division of Doddingtree Hundred.[4]
Kyre Park
Kyre Park is a park and gardens within the village which is known for being designed by Capability Brown. The park was used for hunting deer until the mid-1700s, when it was laid out for the Pytts family. It contains numerous follies and a Grade II listed barn dating from c.1618.[5] The park is privately owned but is open daily to the public.[6]
