A BAXTERLEY BROWSE
BAXTERLEY
CHURCH
Co ordinates provided are for the church car
park
This is quite a tricky church to locate unless
you know the area - we
had difficulty in finding this one ourselves!
The parish church is a small structure with a
chancel, north vestry, nave with an
enclosed west tower, north aisle, and north porch. The chancel
dates from c. 1200 and had remarkably tiny windows. A low-side
window was inserted in the 13th century. The nave has little left
by which it can be dated, but is perhaps of the 14th century. The
arrangement of the west wall with the small tower within it seems
to be work of about mid 16th century, but it may be later. The
aisle, porch, and vestry, and the roof are modern, and the south
wall of the nave has been practically all rebuilt.
The oldest monuments are to the Reverend
Thomas Shaw, Rector 1712, and Thomas Strong of
Baxterley Hall 1723.
A bell is of 1875. The registers date from
1653.
You are looking for a crafty micro and an
equally crafty main cache, which is a small lockable airtight
container with a few of the usual goodies
inside. There is not
too much distance involved.Please keep to the footpath as the well
kept field is a private garden.
