Church of St John the Baptist at Wolverley (Grade II* Listed Building)

A perfect spot with a bench in the shade for Lunch.

The Church has been the deanery of Kidderminster since the 13th Century. Tradition claims a Saxon Church here. A priest of Wolverley is recorded in the Domesday Book (1086). A replacement church, then consisting of a new chancel and nave attached to the east side of a stone built tower of the earlier church, was consecrated on 20th September 1772.

The church of ST. JOHN BAPTIST is a red brick building consisting of a chancel, south vestry, nave with arcades, north and south aisles containing galleries continued round the west end, and a west tower.
The present church, which replaces an older one pulled down in 1769, is built in the Italian style and was completed in 1772 (fn. 122) ; it forms an excellent example of local work and design, the tower being particularly good.
