Claines is a small village just to the north of
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.[1] On 30 September 1885 the parish was abolished and split to form North Claines and South Claines.[2] 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
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.
