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.
French Towns and Lands of Art and History were part of this network. A more accurate and readily-understandable translation of "pays" would be "district" (Towns and Districts of Art and History), as the word "pays" refers to an administrative area centered on a town or village - akin to a district or subdivision of an English county. The numbers in brackets are those assigned by the Ministry to the départements. - Towns of Art and of History: Mulhouse (68), Strasbourg (67) - Land of Art and of History : Pays du Val d'Argent, Pays de Guebwiller (68) - Towns of Art and of History : Autun (71), Auxerre
