One of 13 churches in the Worcestershire West Rural Team - services rotate between the churches over the month.
From their website:-
Suckley is an ancient place mentioned in the Domesday Book. There has been a church on this site since Norman times and many features were retained when the Victorians rebuilt it: the large Tub Font dated about 1150-1200 and its 17th century domed cover; the Piscina, a 14th century recess in the North Wall of the Chancel used for washing sacred vessels; and the Jacobean pulpit. The old wall tablets were tidied up into the base of the bell tower and outside is a very ancient preaching cross, the base of which is scarred where arrows were sharpened on the stones.
The Sanctuary was modernised by the then Diocesan architect, W J Hopkins (1820-1901) much of whose work can be seen in Worcester and whose masterpiece is said to be at Hallow.
