Church of St Mary, Bedstone - Shropshire (UA)
The C12 church of St Mary consists of a nave with a lower chancel, a C17 west end timber framed bell-cote and a C19 shingled broached spire. The original chancel arch and two windows survived the restoration in 1878 - 9 by F R Kempson who grouped the nave windows together. The spire was re-shingled in 1996 but is now in need of urgent repair as is the bell-cote timber framing and infill panels below. Moisture levels within external walls requires the reduction of adjacent ground levels, the replacement of impervious re-pointing and the installation of a perimeter surface water drainage system.
