Bradley Green

 

Anglican: St John the Baptist

Built in the Decorated style, 1864/65, by W J Hopkins. A fairly plain church but its main feature is the west rose window. Designed by A J Davies, and made by the Bromsgrove Guild, it was installed and dedicated in 1921 as a memorial to the 12 men of the village who died in the First World War. Each of the 12 main panels represents the regiment or part of the armed forces in which the men served.
