Suckley Church

Suckley Church This traditional Anglican Church is situated next to the School. A warm welcome awaits you here. Suckley is an ancient place mentioned in the Domesday Book.

There has been a church on this site since early Norman times and many features were retained when the Victorians rebuilt it (such as the large Tub Font dated about 1150-1200 and its 17th century domed cover, the Piscina - which is a 14th century recess in the North Wall of the Chancel used for washing sacred vessels, and the Jacobean pulpit. The old wall tablets were tidied up into the base of th

e bell tower). Outside is a very ancient preaching cross, the base of which is scarred where arrows were sharpened on the stones. The Sanctuary was modernised by the then Diocesan architect, W J Hopkins (1820-1901) much of whose work can be seen in Worcester and whose masterpiece is said to be at Hallow. The beautiful 1571 chalice now, sadly, has to be kept in the bank. The East window shows some of the best stained glass of the day by Kempe, whose wheatsheaf signature can be seen. The fine ring of six bells, cast by the Rudhall foundry at Gloucester in around 1710, is rung regularly. The handsome clock on the tower was installed in 1911 in memory of Mr E H Hill, a local benefactor, whose good deeds include the gift of the village hall to the parish. The clock was repainted and regilded in 2009 by Ivor Bramich.
