Remote Churches of Herefordshire
24 – 26 July
Enjoy a real treat by joining us to explore some unique churches that are hard to find without an experienced guide.
We will visit Rowlestone, a church associated with the Herefordshire School of Romanesque Sculpture, and Clockock with its chancel set out as it would have been in the 17th Century. Further churches include the famous Kilpeck with its fascinating carvings and Abbey Dore, which began as a Cistercian monastery and was restored by John Scudamore.
The church at Bacton and the church of St Margarets provide other historic gems. Bacton has one of only three stone depictions of Elizabeth I that she allowed and at St Margarets we will see an elaborately carved rood loft, that survived Edward VI’s order for destruction.
Other churches in the tour promise diverse surprises. Hoarwithy is an Italianate and Byzantine building that looks out of place but is the most exciting Victorian church in Herefordshire!
Brockhampton was designed by William Lethaby, a friend of William Morris, and was actively involved with the Arts and Crafts Movement which is reflected in its the architecture.The remote church in Michaelchurch nestles in its own private valley. It contains a striking Norman font and, of all things, a Roman altar to a deity worshipped at crossroads. At Garway we will see a church associated with the Knights Templar which displays the foundations of a round nave.
