St Nicholas

This is the tower of the church and the hall barn in which I attend ballet . Always feel more limber and stretched after the session .
I’ve never looked back at it much but today was waiting for a friend outside and snapped the tower. The same friend I made the seaside cowl for . Her partner has commissioned one for his niece , and he’s going to pay me!!! Yikes :)

Below some historical notes I took from the internet.

Situated on the north east edge of the City of Worcester, near a large housing development and within sight and sound of the M5 Motorway, this is nevertheless, a very rural setting for this historic church, next to restored farm buildings and the 17th century Warndon Court.
It is thought that there has been a church here since the 8th century.The nave and chancel of St Nicholas are Norman from the 13th century, the half timbered west tower was added in the 16th century. Almost untouched during the 19th century there was a major restoration during the 1990's, including the provision of mains electricity in 1993!
