The 1832 OS map shows a Causeway Meadow just north of Astwood, which
is more or less exactly halfway between Stoke Prior and Dodderhill
(Dodderhill no longer exists as such, having been swallowed up by
Droitwich). I would guess it stands on or very close to the boundary
between the two parishes--it seems no-one was very sure and put down
both for luck (or something!). Boundaries may also have been redrawn
at some date. There is no indication of a farm on the map, and
Causeway Meadow it is not shown on either the 1895 or 1909 maps.
There is, however, an Astwood Farm very close by.

Stock and Bradley is SE of Hanbury Village--it appears to be a parish
established post-1837. as previously it was simply Bradley, a
peculiar (i.e. a parish under no diocesal jurisdiction). It covers
the three villages of Bradley, Bradley Green, and Stock Green.

You should be able to find all these using Streetfinder
(http://www.streetfinder.co.uk) -- be careful with Astwood, as there
is an Astwood Bank some distance away.
