PENCOMBE with Grendon Warren form a Parish in the Northern Division of the county, Broxash Hundred, Bromyard Petty Sessional division, Union and county court district, Bromyard rural Deanery and Hereford archdeaconry and diocese. Pencombe is a pleasant village, 4 miles west from Bromyard Station on a branch of the Great Western Railway from Worcester and 6 west from Dinmore Station on the Shrewsbury and Hereford (Great Western and London and North Western joint) Railway and 11 north-east from Hereford. The church of St. John, rebuilt in 1864-65, at a cost of £3,232, is a very edifice of stone, in the Transition Norman style, consisting of apsidal chancel, nave, transept and a tower containing 6 bells. The register dates from the year 1538. The living is a rectory, net yearly value £320 including 108 acres of glebe land, with residence, in the gift of Mrs. Burrell, and held since 1904 by the Rev. John Seymour St. John B.A. of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, who is also perpetual curate of Marston Stannett. The Rectory House, standing in extensive grounds, is very pleasantly situated half a mile from the church. The reading room was established in 1890, £150 being expended in fitting the interior, which includes billiard and news rooms. By ancient custom the Lord of the Manor claims a pair of gilt spurs when a Mayor of Hereford dies while in office. The Ecclesiastical Commissioners are the principle landowners. The soil is clayey; subsoil, partly stone. The chief crops are wheat, beans, oats, clover, and apples. The area is 4,764 acres; rateable value, £3,380, including Marston Stannett; the population in 1911 was 280, including Marston Stannett.
