Church of St Mary, Cleeton St Mary, Bitterley - Shropshire (UA)
This church was built in 1876-8 and designed by Thomas Nicholson. It consists of a chancel with a lean-to north vestry and a nave with a tower built into its west end. Recent repairs to the chancel roof have confirmed that the original tile batten fixings are failing and require renewal: other roofs are of the same date so must be considered equally suspect. Rainwater goods and the surface water drainage system also require overhauling. A grant was awarded by the Shropshire historic churches Trust in 2022 for the preparation of a re-roofing specification and this project work is now in hand.
