Robin's End, at Eastham, near Tenbury Wells, is a distinguished Grade II* listed property dating mainly to 1735 with earlier roots and later additions. Its Georgian portions were built for the Reverend William Whitcombe, who needed a parsonage. Some time later, it was extended with two matching wings, designed to similar lines. The enlargements of the 19th century joined up the early Georgian main house with a timber-framed building dating to the 17th century.
