Thornbury is a village in the NE of the county, 7 miles E of Leominster and a mile S of the border with Shropshire. It is a small, compact village at the foot of Wall Hills, with its hillfort, and the church stands at its centre. St Anna's has a chancel rebuilt by F. R. Kempson, in 1865-66, with a N vestry and organ niche; a long aisleless nave with a N wall in which are a window and a blocked doorway of 12thc date. The S wall has a 13thc doorway under a 19thc porch. At the W end is a massive, unbuttressed 13thc tower with a pyramid roof. Romanesque features are the N doorway and a tub font.
