H. Goldingham, Esq. The living is a p. curacy in the diocese of Worcester. Value, £60. Patrons, the Trustees of the late Lord Beauchamp's Charity. The old church was a curious timbered structure, supposed todate from 1415; and was taken down in 1866. A stonecross, 23 feet high, has been erected on the site of itschancel; and forms a conspicuous object in a considerableextent of landscape. The new church is the chapel of the Beauchamp alms-houses or charity. The sum of £60,000 was left, for that charity, by the late Earl Beauchamp.
