St John The Baptist, Church Lane, Bromsgrove, Worcestershire 16 August 2017

St John The Baptist, Church Lane, Bromsgrove, Worcestershire 16 August 2017
A memorial dedicated to the men of the parish who fell during the Boer Wars 1899-1902.

The church of St John the Baptist dates from the 12th Century, but construction is chiefly from the 14th and 15th Centuries; it is another church on which the Victorian architect Gilbert Scott worked. In the churchyard is the base of an ancient preaching cross, and inside, the WW1 memorial bears int. al. the name of Captain Noel Chavasse, one of only three servicemen to earn two Victoria Crosses.
