Avoncroft is an electoral ward on the edge of Bromsgrove in Worcestershire, England, made up largely of suburban housing with pockets of green space. It sits close to the town centre but retains a semi-rural feel in places, with local shops, schools and community facilities serving a mixed-age population; many residents commute to nearby cities for work.
The ward is best known for its proximity to the Avoncroft Museum of Historic Buildings, a distinctive cultural attraction that preserves relocated historic structures and stages events that connect people to the Midlands’ past. Economically it reflects the wider Bromsgrove pattern of small local businesses, light industry on the outskirts and commuter links to Birmingham and Worcester, while community groups and occasional heritage activities give it a village-like social character.
