Pendock

Pendock Church dates from the 12th century. Alterations and additions were made to it in the 14th century, and again in the 15th century when the west tower was built. To its north are the earthworks of a former medieval village. The prolific nineteenth-century writer on Worcestershire John Noake, in his 1868 Guide to Worcestershire notes that: "Rev. W. S. Symonds, the eminent geologist, is lord of the manor, patron and incumbent of the living." Pendock Cross church, also known as The Redeemer Church, was built in 1899 as a temporary mission church, but is still in use. It has an outdoor font which is stacked up on bricks. Gadfield Elm Chapel, the oldest chapel of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the world, is in the parish. ==Pendock Church==
