Honeybourne cottages. Historically, Honeybourne was made up of two villages: Church Honeybourne was in Worcestershire while Cow Honeybourne was in Gloucestershire. Their names are derived from Old English hunig, "honey", and burna, "stream", the whole meaning "(places on) the stream by which honey is found". Boundary changes in 1931 moved Cow Honeybourne into Worcestershire and the two parishes were united in 1958.
