Stoke Prior and Worcestershire Memorabilia Display at St Michael and All Angels Church

The nave, chancel and north aisle of Stoke Prior's Grade I Listed church date from the 12th century. Later additions include the tower and side chapels. The octagonal font has eight carved panels and dates from the 14th century. Major restoration work, funded by John Corbett the wealthy owner of the Salt Works, was carried out in the 1890s. A recent project restored structural damage to the tower. The churchyard contains many mature trees. A new path leading to the west entrance allows easy access via a glass vestibule.

The war memorial contains the names of men from the village and local area. It has carved stone panels with Celtic inspired designs.

Bob and Celia Wilson have curated a display especially for Heritage Open Days. Visitors will see a great variety of interesting items relating to everyday working lives, and local companies including the Brush Works; Garringtons; Deritend (Droitwich) and the Salt Works. There will also be memories of leisure activities including memorabilia relating to cubs and scouts. Items on display will also include a 1927 large-scale Ordnance Survey map of the local area, ephemera relating to shops, and many everyday and unusual objects large and small to inspire memories of times past. The scope of the display is too vast to fully describe - don't miss the opportunity to see it and reminisce. Amongst all sorts of interesting things, there will be some items not shown before.
