Baddersley Clinton St Michaels

The earliest record of a church is dated 1305, but it is believed there was a church on or near this site two, or possibly three centuries earlier. The quick tempered Lord of the Manor Nicholas Brome who built the tower as a penance is buried just outside the south door "within the parish church of St James in Baddesley Clinton, there as people may tread upon mee when they cone into the church..." The dedication has changed from St James to St Michael, possibly following 19th century restoration.
