St Philip & St James, Hallow, Worcestershire, England - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

From their website:-
Mr. W. Jeffrey Hopkins, a Worcester architect, designed the present church. It is built mainly of local sandstone brought from a quarry at Holt. It is a good examlpe of Victorian Gothic, in the style of the 13th - 14th centuries.

The Rt. Hon. Frederick, 6th Earl Beauchamp, laid the foundation stone on Tuesday, 5th March 1867. The Bishop of Worcester, the Rt Rev. Henry Philpott, D.D, consecrated the church on 4th May 1869.

The flying buttresses, which support the roof, are a notable feature of the design but these proved so costly to construct that it was not possible to build the tower until 1879. In that year donations were given for the erection of the tower to a height of of 67 feet.

The addition of the spire to the total height of 150 feet, and a peal of eight bells, chimes and clock of three dials completed the church in 1900.
