St. Michael & All Angels Church – Walford

sally — Fri, 10 Jul 2015 18:20:52 +0000

In the 13th century, the original tiny building of this church was extended and then it was further added to and renovated over the centuries. At one time there was a spire on top of the tower, but during a thunderstorm in 1813 the spire was struck by lightening and it was toppled, taking the bells with it. Some of them were broken, whilst others were taken to Ruardean Church nearby.
