Wormbridge is a village in Herefordshire, England about eight miles south-west of Hereford, on the A465 road at (SO423316). The neighbouring villages are Kilpeck, Didley, Howton and Crizeley.

Wormbridge and its Church were once owned by the Knights Hospitallers of St John of Jerusalem. Some of the Church architecture, including the entrance door, is Norman, dating from about 1200. The unbutressed west tower dates from the 13th century, but the top stage and broach spire were added in 1851-1859.[1]

Wormbridge Mill was a watermill on the Worm Brook, which flows near the village. The mill buildings are part of Old Mill Farm. Steam power was used to supplement water from about 1890. Milling continued until the early 1920s.[2]
