No apparent dedication

This church was built in 1622 at the expense of Bonham Norton of Church Stretton to replace a C13 chapel. Constructed in rubble stone with steeply pitched roofs covered by plain clay tiles, it consists of a nave with a west bell-cote and a lower chancel. It was subsequently restored in 1904 when the south porch and north vestry were added.

 

This church does not appear in the current edition of 'A Guide to Shropshire's Churches', but is a member of Shropshire Churches Tourism Group.

It is on the 'Heritage at Risk' register as in need of restoration.

Fundraising for Repairs to Loughton Church
Over the years no one has served more faithfully in Loughton church than Jim Hurford now Jim's daughter, Sarah, has launched an appeal to raise money towards repairs needed to the roof and floor so that the community can continue to use their church safely in the years ahead. Please give what you can here.
