Church of St Mary, Bitterley - Shropshire (UA)

This late C13 church consists of a nave, chancel and west tower. It was restored by Thomas Nicholson between 1880 and 1888 who added the south side timber porch, the timber framed top stage to the tower and its short broad shingled spire. All the tile coverings to the nave, chancel and porch roofs together with the cast iron rainwater goods are failing and require renewal. The surface water drainage system is largely ineffective and needs to be replaced. Limited high-level masonry repairs are also required. Work to re-shingle the tower spire was completed at the end of 2020.
