History
Alderminster was an exclave of Worcestershire until 1931, when it was transferred to Warwickshire. When rural district councils were created in the 1890s, Alderminster was part of Shipston on Stour Rural District. When the parish was transferred to Warwickshire it became part of Stratford on Avon Rural District.[2]
The first mention of a post office in the village is in July 1849, when a type of postmark known as an undated circle was issued.[3] The post office closed in 1973.
Alderminster was one of the film locations of MGM's 1963 horror film The Haunting.[citation needed]
