Old Porch, Weobley
Weobley is a large village and civil parish in Herefordshire. Formerly a market town, it is today one of the county's black and white villages.
The name possibly derives from 'Wibba's Ley', a ley being a woodland glade and Wibba being a local Saxon landowner. In the Domesday Book the village name was transcribed as Wibelai. It is still pronounced as "Web-ley" (the spelling being similar to nearby Leominster which also does not pronounce the letter 'o' in its name).
