St Mary’s Church

​

​

The foundation existed at the time of the Domesday book. Records of a consecration in 1315 probably refer to the chancel. The current church building dates mostly from the 15th and 16th centuries.

​

in April 1641, during the English Civil War, the vicar George Dance, agreed that he would give £60 a year, out of his income of £200, to a preacher who should be chosen by certain trustees. Richard Baxter was invited to deliver a sermon before the people, and was unanimously elected as the minister, or lecturer, of St Mary and All Saints' Church, Kidderminster.

​

In 1847 a south aisle was added the chancel by Harvey Eginton, and the organ chamber was added in 1874. The tower was refaced in 1893 – 1895 by J.A. Chatwin.

The Whittall Chapel was added in 1921-1922 by Giles Gilbert Scott. Hubert Clist undertook some work in 1966 – 1967. Ronald Sims re-ordered the interior in 1988 – 1990.
