Church of All Saints, Worthen with Shelve - Shropshire (UA)

This small church set below the Stiperstones was built in 1839-40 to the designs of the rector, the Revd TF More under John Carline's supervision. It consists of a nave and chancel in one with a narrow west tower. The walls are constructed in coursed rubble stone and roofs covered by plain clay tiles. All the cast iron rainwater goods require overhauling as does the surface water drainage system. Following minor roof repairs carried out in 2021, the poor condition of the tile battens uncovered suggests that re-roofing of the nave/chancel roof should be anticipated in the near future.
