Kemerton

 

Anglican: St Nicholas

The west tower is 13th century but the rest of the church was rebuilt between 1844 and 1846 by R C Carpenter. It is very much in the Victorian Tractarian “High Church” tradition and retains its 19th century fittings. Kemerton was transferred from Gloucestershire in 1931, St Nicholas remains in the Diocese of Gloucester. The church is usually open daily. (Local information.)
