St. Milburga’s Church
stands in the centre of the village of Stoke Saint Milborough, on the Brown Clee hillside. Known in Saxon times as Godstoke, the village is thought to have belonged to the Saxon abbey at Wenlock founded in 680A.D. by St. Milburga, daughter of Merewald of Mercia. The early 13th century chancel arch is the oldest datable feature of the church, with flattened leaf decoration of the capitals of the responds. On the west wall of the porch is its oldest monument, the simple medieval grave stone showing an encircled cross.
Open daily to visitors, St. Milburga’s offers a variety of Sunday services, clergy- and lay-led, traditional and modern, activities such as bell-ringing and singing and groups for prayer and study.
St Milburga's has a peal of 8 beautiful, newly cast bells. The bell Captain is always pleased to show it to ringers (and others who are interested). There are three or four training sessions a week, and new ringers are welcomed. See https://www.facebook.com/stmilburga
