Wribbenhall

Well what a surprise, another dull day, so I popped off to Wribbenhall Church, was closed so no interior photos, but have quite a few shots of headstones.

Just let me know if you think you may have an ancestor here and I will check.

Tardebigge

Chilly but bright so we popped over to Tardebigge, mind you my feet were soaked after lurking aroun the churchyard, lots of the stones now are readable though.

If you think you may have ancestors here drop me an email and I will check through what I amges I have, approx 280 photos of stones and memorials in the church.

Stoke Prior and Wychbold

Well a pleasant morning, so I popped off to Stoke Prior, nice to see the church open and a nice display of Christmas trees, about 250 images later I was off, but called in at Wychbold church on the way, shame it wasn't open.

And if I'm not lurking amongst gravestones somewhere you can see what else I get up to here:

Kidderminster St Mary's

Another dull day yesterday, off I went to St Mary's in Kidderminster for the christmas tree festival, first time I had been inside the church for many years, must say it looked excellent, a lot of work had gone into the display.

Also managed to take photos of all the headstones that are still readable.

Will add photos later.

Elmley Lovett

Saturday 14 Dec 2019

Lovely and bright after early rain so I popped out to Elmley Lovett, the heavens opened just as I arrived, so had a good look round the church before I ventured into the churchyard.

As it was raining last time I walked round Stone church I popped there on way home, lovely sunshine by then but was oh so cold, but finished off the churchyard there now, well with the readable ones as so many now are un-readable.

More pictures to put on here soon.

Rock Church

Rock Church

A very bright but cold morning so I popped off to Rock, a delightful Norman Church with very nice countryside.

I took many photos of headstones, so if you are looking for a certain name then just email me and I will send you the image if I have it.

Highley

Thursday November 28th, well a few days ago they had forecast a nice day for today, what a joke, my usual trip to Kinlet, so with some free time I popped along to Highley Church, took a few photos but not many from inside the church as there were workman busy in there.

Just managed to get some photos in the churchyard before the rain came.

Popped along to the forest near Button Oak, was raining pretty steadily when I got there!

Very depressing weather.

Wet in the forest

Also popped along to Far Forest church, will be back there very soon as it looks an interesting place also some interesting fungi in the churchyard.

Churchill and Blakedown

St James the Great, Blakedown

Well it was nice when I left home, but on arrival it was raining again!

Roll of honour

St James the Great, Churchill

Still raining but being less than a mile from Blakedown I arrived and waited a little while and then it stopped.

Churchill War Memorial

Kinlet and Chelmarsh

Okay so not Worcestershire, but as I have to make several weekly visits to Kinlet in Shropshire for the next few months and have a couple of spare hours on each visit I thought I might as well look around the local churches.

First and hour or so around Kinlet, a very pretty and interesting church and I shall add more photos soon.

Chelmarsh looked interesting from the outside but it was locked, hopefully it will be open on my next visit, will also have a look at Highly, judging by the size of the town that will be quite large.

Not the best of weather today and so glad I took my flask of coffee with me.

Kinlet Church

Chelmarsh Church

As with Kinlet a lot of the headstones are now virtually un-readable and a lot are well past being able to decipher which is a shame and such a loss.

Bromsgrove and Elmbridge

Today I visited both named churches, firstly to Bromsgrove, I will have to return at some point as I only took photos of headstones near the church, I never had time to go round the other two churchyards.

On the way home I went to Elmbridge, pretty little church and just like Bromsgrove it was open.

More photos when time permits

Bromsgrove
Definitely need to get a better photo than this the light was awful.
