Kidderminster Kidderminster Kidderminster is a town in Worcestershire, England, south-west of Birmingham and north of Worcester. At the 2011 census, it had a population of 55,530. The town is twinned with Husum, Germany. The land around Kidderminster may have been first populated by the Husmerae, an Anglo-Saxon tribe first mentioned in the Ismere Diploma, a document in which Ethelbald of Mercia granted a "parcel of land of ten hides" to Cyneberht. This became the settlement of Stour-in-Usmere, which was later the subject of a territorial dispute settled by Offa of Mercia in 781, where he restored certain rights to Bishop Heathored.
