The Civil Parish of Stourport was renamed "'''Stourport-on-Severn'''" in 1934 (see 'The town of Stourport' below). Stourport station was similarly renamed in the same year.<ref>[[Bibliography#Books | Marshall (1989)]] p. 89.</ref><ref group="note">Marshall suggested the station might have been renamed to avoid confusion with nearby Stourbridge as there was no other Stourport station. The change of name of the Civil Parish was more likely the reason.</ref>
