Church of St Laurence, Bear Hill, Alvechurch, Alvechurch - Bromsgrove

Large parish church. Mostly rebuilt between 1860 and 1861 by W Butterfield retaining only a C15 tower which was remodelled in 1676. Badly eroded sandstone is affected by damp, especially on the north side and in the tower. Rainwater goods are in poor condition and the leaded windows are also deteriorating. The church was awarded a National Lottery Heritage Fund Grant for Places of Worship in February 2017 to fund repairs which has addressed most of the faults.
