Westhide is a village and civil parish in Herefordshire, England, 5+1⁄4 miles (8.4 km) north-east of Hereford.[2] The parish had a population of 79 in the 2001 UK Census[1] and is grouped with Preston Wynne and Withington to form Withington Group Parish Council for administrative purposes.[3] The village lies on hilly farmland and to the south is Shucknall Hill.[4]
The parish church is dedicated to St Bartholomew and has a large but short 12th-century tower.[5] In the churchyard are the remains of a medieval preaching cross now topped by an 18th-century sundial.[6] It went through a major restoration during the nineteenth century by architect Thomas Blashill, FRIBA, which included an addition of a south-facing porch.[4]
The course of the Herefordshire and Gloucestershire Canal runs just north of the village.[2]
