All Saints' Church


The church tower at All Saints Christian Malford is very similar to the tower at nearby Kington St. Michael erected circa 1725. In that year the villagers of Malford voted for ten shillings (50p) to hang bells in the tower. The Malford tower possibly pre-dates the one at Kington St. Michael as there is a graffito date of 1721 on a buttress.
During the second world war the Home Guard used the tower as a vantage point to look out for invading Germans approaching from the south beyond the river Avon adjacent to the churchyard. Any who came could be sure of a hostile welcome from the pill box which was built a stone's throw beyond the church and which is now much overgrown.
The church clock has stopped again, which is a shame. Maybe the locals don't care for its strident chime.
