Stoke St Milborough: St Milburga

The Church of St Milburga is the parish church for the village of Stoke St Milborough in South Shropshire. It stands in centre of the village of Stoke Saint Milborough, nestled between the Clee hills. The village was known as Godstoke in Saxon times and is thought to have belonged to the Saxon abbey at Wenlock. The Abbey was founded in 680 AD by Saint Milburga, daughter of Merewald of Mercia, who also gave her name to the village. It is said of St Milburga that she had a special relationship with geese. Once, when hordes of geese were eating the abbey’s crops, she politely asked them to leave and they all flew away. On another occasion, she was alerted by flocks of geese calling under her window warning of a Viking invasion.

Open daily to visitors, St. Milburga’s offers a variety of traditional and modern Sunday services, led by both clergy and lay members. Activities such as bell ringing, choir, coffee mornings, talks and conservation work take place in the church and you can find details of these in the Calendar further down this page.

St Peter's, Stanton Lacy

WELCOME

The Saxon church of St Peter has been serving the parish of Stanton Lacy since the early 11th century, and there was probably a church on the site for 300 years before that. It is one of the few churches mentioned in the Domesday Book.

A beautifully proportioned cruciform church, its Saxon origins are still visible in the stonework in the west and north walls and part of the north transept, with its thin pilaster strips. The chancel is mainly c13th with the tower and south transept built a century later. Notable features are c14th tomb recesses, one allegedly for Edmund de Mortimer and c17th chest. Victorian developments included an organ (now on the Historic Organs List) the stained glass windows, the altar and reredos of Caen stone. It's beautifully painted panels were created later by Hildred Harpin in 1929.

It is a Grade 1 Listed Building.

St Peter's is one of 6 churches that form the Bromfield Benefice within the Ludlow Deanery. We hold services on 4 Sundays of every month, and jointly with the benefice on the 5th Sunday.
