More about this scene

This large village near Clent has Georgian and Tudor architecture and sandstone walls. The church on a hill commands the scene; it has a 14th-century tower and a slender spire, with a newer nave and chancel designed by the Victorian architect G F Bodley. In 1854 Belbroughton was a hamlet with an inn, 4 farms, and a blacksmith; Blakedown Common and Harberrow common lay beyond, until they were claimed under the Enclosure system.
