- 1. St Michael, Abberley, Old Church, Worcestershire, England
-
-
Chapel All that remains of the 12thc. church is the chancel, and a few courses of the N wall of the roofless W tower. In the 13thc. the chancel was extended eastward, a chapel added on its S side and a S aisle added to the nave - all of red sandstone ashlar. The church fell into ruin and a replacement was built on a new site shortly after 1850. At this time the N doorway of the ruined nave was built into what became the W wall of the old chancel, now kept as a chapel with its 13thc. chapel adjoining to the S. In 1963 the dangerous walls of the old tower and nave were taken down, except for the old S doorway which still stands, supported by a portion of the S wall of the nave.

Parish church Built in faced sandstone rubble, the tower of sandstone ashlar. Nave with N and S aisles, chancel, N chapel and W tower. Restoration in 1885. The nave and W half of the chancel were built in the early part of the 12thc., the chancel being extended to its present length, and the nave aisles added in the 13thc. The only 12thc. sculpture is a relief set into the S wall inside, and the font.

-
Parish church The church has a 12thc. nave with a N aisle, a 13thc. chancel with a N chapel of 1884-85 and a neo-Norman bell turret. There is Romanesque sculpture in the reset S and N doorways, the former with a carved relief within a niche above, in the chancel arch and in the N nave arcade. Numerous carved fragments were discovered during the 19thc. rebuilding work and are now kept in the N chapel, except for the 'Peacock stone', which is in the vestry.

Parish Church Of grey-green sandstone. Nave and chancel 12thc.. Late 12thc. chapel to E of N aisle which is modern, but which retains its early 12thc. arcade. Chancel lengthened and vestry added 12thc. when a S aisle was also added. The tower, begunc.1200 has a small lady chapel in EE style. Modern vestry added to E end of the N aisle. Modern porch to S doorway. The earliest church of which there are any remains dates from the first half of the 12thc., at which time it consisted of a chancel and nave with a N aisle. About 1180 a small chapel was added at the E end of the N aisle with an archway opening into the chancel. At the same time the building of the tower was begun, the N and W arches being the first work. The building of the tower seems to have lingered for some time, but it may have been completed before 1250. The small chapel to the E of it seems to have been part of the original plan. (VCH)
