In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Lindridge like this:
LINDRIDGE, a village in Tenbury district, and a parish partly also in Martley district, Worcester. The village stands on the river Teme, near the Newnham station of the Tenbury and Bewdley railway, and near the boundary with Salop, 5¼ miles E by N of Tenbury; and has a post office under Tenbury.—The parish contains also the hamlet of Newnham, and the chapelries of Knighton-upon-Teme and Pensax. ...
Acres, 6,252. Real property, £11,170; of which £270 are in mines. Pop., 1,760. Houses, 375. The property is subdivided. Eardiston House is the property of George Wallace, Esq. The living is a vicarage in the diocese of Hereford. Value, £450.* Patrons, the Dean and Chapter of Worcester. The church was rebuilt, on the site of the previous church, and on a larger scale, in 1861; and is in the early decorated English style, of local stone, lined internally with Bath stone. The p. curacies of Knighton-uponTeme and Pensax are separate benefices. There is a Wesleyan chapel at Frith Common. There is also a parochial school.
