St John the Baptist, Stokesay, Shropshire

A member of our Chapter recently marked the feast of the Passion of St John Baptist with a visit to Stokesay. He writes:

" The church was founded in the 12th Century, largely destroyed in the maelstrom of the Civil War with Royalists and Parliamentarians shooting at each other.

The building has many hints of its former Catholic past and several pre-reformation memorials in the building and it's environs. "
