Parish church
Small church of 12thc. origin consisting of nave, chancel and weatherboarded bell-cote. The nave dates from about 1150, with more later alterations. The chancel was probably rebuilt in the 13thc., and the whole church restored in 1844 and again in 1908-9 by W.H. Bidlake. Bidlake appears to have removed the 13thc. windows and replaced them with seven 12thc. style windows, two each in N and S walls of nave and one each N and S walls of chancel and one in E. wall of chancel. All have nook shafts with scalloped capitals and arches with edge-roll and hollow label. The chancel arch in the Romanesque style is also by Bidlake. Surviving 12thc. features are the W doorway and part of the S doorway to the nave. The walls are of sandstone rubble masonry varying in colour from cream to buff with traces of iron, apart from the E and W elevations which are of buff sandstone ashlar.
Parish church
The flint rubble church has chancel, nave with S chapel and a tower over the S porch. The church is substantially 14thc. with the tower, S chapel and chancel slightly later than the nave, which however appears to have been built on earlier foundations. An earlier church probably existed on this site, but the only 12thc. feature now present is the font.
Parish church
Single-aisled church largely rebuilt in the 19thc. Blocked 12thc N doorway in the nave. Small plain Norman window in the N wall of the chancel. 12thc Priest's Doorway. 12thc font at the W end of the nave. There are fragments of sculpture immured in the exterior of the nave and the chancel.
Parish church
The church has a long 12thc. nave with turrets flanking the W facade, a vaulted N porch with later upper storey, a S aisle of the 13thc., and a N aisle, crossing tower and chancel of the 14thc. Romanesque sculpture is found on the corbel tables of the nave, on the nook
shafts of the W front turrets, in the S, W and N nave doorways, on the string course and vault responds of the N porch, and in the W tower arch; in the S aisle there is also a fragmentary cross-head, as well as a carved label stop.
Parish church
11–12thc. aisleless nave and W tower with 13thc. chancel. A N transept was also added in the 13thc., partially
obscuring an earlier window. Most of the tower is 14thc., along with the tower
arch. There is no spire. Construction is of flint and pebble, the prominently
pointed Victorian restorations being particularly noticeable here. There was a
restoration in 1885 by J. P. St Aubyn, and a complete restoration of the
exterior of the tower c.1990. Features recorded are the N and S nave
doorways, N nave window and font.
Parish church
Woolstaston is a village about four miles N of Church Stretton. The church lies to the of the N village and consists of a structure of uncoursed and roughly coursed grey and brown sandstone rubble with grey sandstone ashlar dressings. The late 12th-early 13thc chancel features a triple lancet window at the E end. The nave is single-aisled and dates to the 13thc; it features a pointed S doorway. The Victorian bellcote at the W end and the vestry were added between 1864 and 1866, when the church was restored by William Hill of Smethcott and Rev. E. Donald Carr. Romanesque sculpture is found on the S doorway and the font situated at the W end of the nave, below the bellcote.
Parish church
The church comprises an apsidal chancel, nave with W bellcote, and N porch. It is
substantially 12thc., the timber bellcote is 19thc. and the brick N porch 18thc. The
walls are coursed rubble.The plain, round-headed N (blocked) and S nave doorways are
12thc. The S doorway has chamfered imposts. Remains of three
round-headed, splayed windows are found on the E, S and N walls of the chancel, and
in the N wall of the nave. Romanesque sculpture is found on the chancel arch.
Parish church
A large church with a two-aisled nave, chancel, transepts and crossing tower. The S doorway and parts of the crossing are 12thc. as are two small, plain, splayed, clerestory window openings, one above each transept arch. The present church dates from the 12thc. when it probably consisted of a chancel, nave, S transept and a low central tower. The N. transept was added in the early 13thc. In the 14thc. the church was rebuilt with the addition of aisles. In the 17thc. the low tower was raised to form a belfry. Of the 12thc. church, the tower crossing remains, with the 13thc. arch to the N transept and the N doorway reused in the 14thc. S aisle.
Parish church
The church, which is now a ruin, has a chancel, a nave with N aisle, and a W tower. The much repaired chancel is substantially 11thc. although the E wall was rebuilt in brick in the 18thc. The nave has a 14thc. N aisle of three bays (apart from the E bay which is 13thc.) and did have a S aisle of the same date although this has been blocked, only part of the W respond is now visible. The W tower, which may have originally been 13thc. was repaired in the 18thc. with brick, and the numerous other brick repairs are probably of this date. 11thc. sculpture in found on the chancel arch, on one of two reset chancel windows and on a reset doorway.
Parish church
Nave and aisles of the 13thc. with Perpendicular clerestorey and doorways to N and S, the former with a
porch. Aisleless chancel with
N vestry, and a tall Perpendicular W tower without a
spire. Construction is of rough ashlar rubble and pebbles. The chancel was restored in 1858 and 1875, and in 1885–88
J. P. St Aubyn restored the entire church. As Pevsner comments, "the church
looks almost entirely — except for the Perp W tower — as if it
had been rebuilt". In the S wall of the tower are two reset chevron
voussoirs.
