Warndon is mentioned in the 1086 Domesday Book as a holding of the Bishop of Worcester, part of the manor of Northwick. It was then held by the Beauchamp and Bracey families until 1205 when Warndon became joined to the manor of Madresfield. In 1594, Sir William Lygon of Madresfield sold Warndon to Rowland Berkeley, who joined it to his manor of Spetchley in 1606. Berkeley Way, the main road bordering Warndon, is named after the Berkeley family. The parish church of St Nicholas dates from the 12th century and is notable for its black and white timber construction. It is a Grade I listed building. Henry Holbeche, Dean of Worcester, dedicated the church to St Nicholas in 1542. Warndon Villages
