Church, remains of. (1)

Tower and spire of former church. C13 and C14. (9)

A chapel of ease in Bradmore was partly destroyed by a fire in 1705. Only the tower and spire remain. The W window and the 2 light belfry windows are of the decorated period. (2)

Only the spire survived the fire … in 1706. C13 ground floor and C14 upper floor. (3)

A cottage now occupies the site. (4)

The spire remains. (5)

C14: The lower stages of the tower and the stub remains of the nave wall date from the Early C14. The roof line of the nave is shown by the steeply itched upper roof mould on the E face of the tower which is cut off by the upper stage of the tower. It I s unlikely that the nave roof projected above the height of the tower so it is probable that the Early C14 tower ha another, possibly wooden storey. Late in the C14 another stage and a broach spire were added to the Early C14 stonework and the roofline was lowered. C18: In July 1705 a fire destroyed most of the chapel and 12 houses in Bradmore. The remaining tower was abandoned except for various agricultural purposes. C19: In 1881 a small brick nave was added to the tower enabling it to be used as a chapel. C20: The ceiling in the nave was lowered and the top of the east window blocked. The remains of the tracery in the west window were removed and the steeple repaired. Architectural Description: The oldest part of the chapel is the two-stage tower and a steeple. The lower stage of the tower is built of blue lias limestone coursed rubble and the upper storey and steeple are of millstone grit ashlar. Around the top of the tower are the remains of a parapet over a chamfered string course pierced by rain spouts. An earth tremor in 1957 damaged the church. (7)

The two-storey ashlar tower is of the 13th c. and the spire is 14th century (8)

The church is still in use as a place of worship. The spire remains and forms half the height of the tower and spire (9)
