Holy Cross is a small neighbourhood within the market town of Bromsgrove in Worcestershire, England, traditionally oriented around a parish church and a handful of local shops and community venues. It has the feel of a residential suburb with a mix of older period houses and mid‑20th century estates, and a local identity tied to parish activities, schools and community groups rather than heavy commercial development.
Geographically it sits in the green, rolling landscape typical of north Worcestershire and is within easy commuting distance of Birmingham and Worcester, so many residents work outside the town while still enjoying Bromsgrove’s market‑town amenities. Like the wider area it carries echoes of the town’s historic trades and market history, but today its character is mostly residential and community‑focused, with ready access to nearby countryside such as the Lickey Hills for leisure.
