Description


STOURPORT ON SEVERN

SO8171NW CHURCH AVENUE 589-1/5/11 (North side) 09/11/71 Church of St Michael

GV II

Remains of church, begun in 1881 but unfinished when consecrated in 1910. Never subsequently completed, and partially demolished in 1980. By George Gilbert Scott, continued after his death by his son, John Oldrid Scott. Sandstone facing over brick core. What survives is the footings for the west wall, and substantial parts of the north and south walls, including the south porch. This is steeply gabled, with crocketted niches to either side and above the cusped archway, with decorated spandrels in the angles. Coped gables capped by cross as finial. Vaulted ceiling, and Decorated inner arch with clustered shafts. Original door with ironwork. 2 windows with Decorated style tracery survive to either side of this, and the lower embrasures for 2 others to the east. North door with original ironwork survives in heavily buttressed north wall. Polygonal stair turrets to NE and SE. Inside, the remains of shafts for aisle arcading, and of an arch to the south chancel aisle. The church was the 3rd to be built, replacing one of brick built in 1782, itself apparently replacing a medieval building. (The Buildings of England: Pevsner N: Worcestershire).
