St John The Baptist, Church Lane, Bromsgrove, Worcestershire 16 August 2017
The white ensign used by HMS Croome during service off North Africa in WW2. It was presented to St John's and the people of Bromsgrove in 1943.
HMS Croome (L62) was a Type 2 Hunt Class destroyer which saw service mainly in the Mediterranean. She was "adopted" by Bromsgrove during the war. In 1957 she was paid off and scrapped.
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.
