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.

80. St Michael, Stoke Prior, Worcestershire, England

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)
