Christ Church Broad Town
The present church was built in 1844-1845 and is a Grade II listed building. At the time of building Broad Town was not a civil parish, but was split between Broad Hinton and Clyffe Pypard. It was proposed in 1843 that because of the distance people in Broad Town had to travel to get to church in Broad Hinton or Clyffe Pypard, a church should be built in the village of Broad Town.
There was a major reconstruction and refurbishment of Christ Church in 1937.
The church had fallen into a mild state of disrepair; the timber in the roof and walls had been eaten away by dry rot and woodworm and the glass in the windows had either disappeared or was broken. The church graveyard was also dangerously close to being full. The church was closed as it was considered unsafe.
If anybody would like to expand to this series please do, I would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication.
There is also a Church Micro Stats page found via the Bookmark list
