St Stephen's, Barbourne, Worcestershire, England - Anglican and Episcopal Churches on Waymarking.com

From the church's website (see below):-
"The Bishop of Worcester consecrated the Church on the 22nd August 1862 with Thomas Gale Curtler being appointed its first incumbent, but it was not until January of the following year that the first wardens, Rear Admiral Hastings and Mr Henry Emery were appointed. The Church day school opened soon after on September 22nd 1864.
At this time the district north of Barbourne had a distinctly rural appearance. Lying as if did then, outside the City boundary, it contained comparatively few houses. Fields and market gardens stretched away on either side of the unpaved main roads leading to Droitwich and Ombersley. A fine and uninterrupted view of the Malvern Hills could be observed by the few who already lived along Ombersley Road, but with the expansion of the City this was to come to an end. Indeed in the Parish Magazine for September 1885 a contributor, referring to the erection of houses along Ombersley Road, deplored the loss of this fine view.
Parishioners became accustomed to seeing Rev. Curtler arrive on horseback from his residence at Bevere House."

The church is open to anyone on Thursdays from 10.30am until 1.30pm, and on Saturday mornings from 10.00am until 1.00pm.
