Eldersfield is a village and civil parish in the Malvern Hills district of Worcestershire, England. It stands exactly ten miles east of Ledbury and ten miles north of Gloucester; this fact can be found on a milestone on the side of the B4211 road that runs through Corse Lawn. The parish church is dedicated to St. John the Baptist and is in the Diocese of Worcester.[1] The parish registers survive from 1718, and there are bishops' transcripts for the earlier registers starting in 1561.[2]

Gadbury Camp

The Iron Age fort of Gadbury Camp can be found in the Parish, to the east of the village. It is a listed monnument.[3][4]
