More about this scene
The village church was far larger than the local population could support. This was because the Bishops of Worcester maintained a palace in the village, and the church had to be big enough to accommodate the Bishop's entourage.

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I lived in Kempsey from1949-1953, at Bank House, otherwise known as The Kempsey Cafe and Filling Station. I went to the council school and attended St Mary's Church along with my sister Marian. I remember vividly the floods from the ford that regularly cut off this little road, and the Michaelmas daisies that grew in the garden of the second cottage. I also went to school with Teresa. Just great memories!!! Hello to anyone that may also remember those days Sylvia Cutler-Anderson
