Throckmorton is a small rural village and civil parish in the district of Wychavon, in the county of Worcestershire, England. It sits in gently undulating agricultural countryside and feels distinctly villagey rather than suburban, with the nearest market towns such as Pershore and Evesham within easy reach and Worcester and the M5 motorway accessible for commuters.
The village name recalls the historic Throckmorton family - associated more widely with events like the 16th‑century Throckmorton Plot and estates such as Coughton Court - but locally the community’s story is one of farming, parish life and a notable aviation link: the nearby former RAF/airfield at Throckmorton (often referred to as Pershore or RAF Pershore) has been used for light aviation and has attracted development interest over the years. Daily life is shaped by village institutions such as the church and village hall, giving it the stable, close‑knit feel common to many Worcestershire villages.
