Leigh is a village and civil parish (with a parish council shared with Bransford) in the Malvern Hills district of the county of Worcestershire, England.

The parish includes Leigh, Brockamin, Leigh Sinton, Sandlin & Smith End Green. The local pronunciation is that the name rhymes with "lie".

The Radar Research and Development Establishment, RRDE for short, was a civilian research organization run by the United Kingdom's Ministry of Supply that primarily studied the development of radar for British Army use. The group traces its history to the Searchlight Experimental Establishment which moved to RAF Biggin Hill in 1924, and the "Army Cell" operating at Bawdsey Manor researching radar beside their Air Ministry counterparts. In 1941 the Army groups merged and moved to Christchurch, Dorset and were renamed the Air Defence Research and Development Establishment. In May 1942 the group moved again, this time to an inland location at Malvern, Worcestershire, and were once again renamed to become the RRDE. Their Air Ministry counterparts, who had also moved to the Dorset area and been renamed the Telecommunications Research Establishment (TRE), joined them in Malvern over the next few months. The RRDE retained their name until 1953 when they merged with the TRE to form the unified Radar Research Establishment. The RRE was renamed in 1957 by Elizabeth II to become the Royal Radar Establishment.

The Church of St Matthias is an Anglican place of worship in Malvern Link, England. Prior to the establishment of this church, the residents of Malvern Link had to walk 3 miles to their parish church, St. Edburga's Church in Leigh. The Rector of Leigh, Henry Somers-Cocks, requested Earl Somers to provide some land for a new church, which he did on 27 December 1843, the form of Link Meadow.The initial church was designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott. It seated 300 people, and cost £1,900 to build. It was completed in 1846 and consecrated by Bishop Pepys of Worcester on 13 January. In 1858, the church was extended to the south, and a new tower was added in 1862.In 1880, the church was found to be too small, and the decision was made to extend it eastwards. Tenders were invited, and Thomas Collins of Tewkesbury, who estimated the costs to be £2,400. The costs of this extension were principally met by Earl Beauchamp. The architect for the new church was Frederick William Hunt of London.The present tower was added in 1889. The tower holds a ring of ten bells cast by John Taylor & Co, the world's largest working bell foundry. Bell #10 was cast in 1899, #1 and 2 in 1993, and #3 to 9 in 1900. The Tenor, the heaviest, weighs 16 cwt and is tuned to F#. The first full peal of Grandsire Triples was rung on 1 June 1901, in St Matthias.The chapel screens are the work of Robert Thompson, the 'mouseman' of Kilburn in Yorkshire.
