Pembridge is the quintessentially English Village that has thrived for the last thousand years. Mentioned in the Doomsday Book, Pembridge was a bustling community of over 2,000 people in the Middle Ages and, although the population is less than half of that now, it's popularity continues to grow.

Pembridge reached its zenith as a busy market town during the mediaeval period when it was renowned for its lively and undoubtedly profitable fairs. Despite suffering the vagaries of wars, economic decline and the relentless march of progress, Pembridge has retained not only its colourful historic mantle of ancient attractive buildings but also its 'die hard' community spirit which is reflected in its current place as a jewel in the crown of the Black and White Village Trail.
