Come to Ladbroke Church and discover 200 million year old fossils &/or learn about the stunning stained glass.

FOSSILS

Ladbroke was underwater 200 million years ago, so our fossils are of Jurassic marine life - ammonites, belemnites, brachiopods, crinoids etc. Our guide will introduce you to some of them, then discover more yourself in the walls and buttresses with a free booklet.

Fossil tours start at 10.30am and 2pm, the guided part takes 15-20 minutes but stay as long as you like carefully handing samples in the exhibition and seaching for more in the walls outside. Free Jurassic colouring sheets, wordsearch, folding booklets to make too.

STAINED GLASS

Ladbroke Church has beautiful stained glass windows from the 15th to early 20th centuries made by many different studios.

Your expert guide will explain some of the symbolism and codes, you can then "read" more of the windows at your own pace using our printed guide.

The stained glass tour starts at 11.30am and lasts about 30 minutes, but the guide is happy to continue for longer.

NB Traditional church service at 9am, open to visitors 10am - 4pm

On road parking only - please avoid the blind bends and park considerately so tractors can pass.

Our recent church repairs were helped by a major grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and this event is happening during National Lottery Open Week. So, as an extra thank you to Lottery players, if you show us your ticket (any date)  we'll give you a free booklet about the stones of Ladbroke Church or the Stained glass (or Alice and the Adventurer).
