Discover St Mary’s Church, Ripple, a Grade I- listed 12th century church set in an historic parish. Tours of the church and bell tower are on offer, along with the chance to see 15th century carved misericords, a rare ‘She’ Bible, Sealed Knot Society Civil War display, the Ripple Giant and more.
St Mary’s Church, Ripple is the largest medieval church in the county of Worcestershire. It’s home to one of Britain’s best collections of misericords – 16 intricately carved seats from the 15th century. St Mary’s also boasts a rare 1613 ‘She’ Bible, with other known copies in Exeter, Salisbury and Durham Cathedrals and at Oxford and Cambridge. Other notable features include early Victorian Chamberlain tiles, six bells by John Rudhall from 1807, and a Victorian stained glass window by Ernest Heasman, a pupil of Kempe. The grave of Robert Reeve, The Ripple Giant, bears the epitaph ‘As you pass by behold my length but never glory in your strength’, the meaning of which will be explained to visitors.
As well as taking a tour of this Grade I-listed building, Heritage Open Days visitors will have the chance to interact with members of the Sealed Knot Society, the UK’s oldest English Civil War re-enactment society, which has St Mary’s as its ‘home’ church. Come and see how St Mary’s Church, Ripple is ‘rippling’ with life and how we plan to use architecture to bring this historic building up to date.
Visit for Heritage Open Days between 10am and 4pm on Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 September 2025.

The Tudor House Museum in Upton upon Severn - Join a Guided Town History Walk and Explore the Museum Too! (Heritage Open Days)

Upton upon Severn’s historic Tudor House Museum is situated near to Upton Bridge by the River Severn and has recently been refurbished. The museum is ready to welcome Heritage Open Day visitors on both weekends of the event, with guided walks departing at 11.30am and 2pm for a fascinating and informative one-hour tour of the town (level terrain, no hills). The guides will cover key historical features around the town, the Battle of Upton in 1651, the role that the river played in influencing trade, the floods, celebrated personalities and much more.
Then you are welcome to return and explore the eclectic delights of the Tudor House Museum and sit in the beautiful, tranquil garden, all lovingly cared for by a committed team of volunteers. There is a vast collection of local history, vintage pastimes and professions, themed displays and wonderful collections of old photographs, lace, glassware and Staffordshire Blue pottery to name just a few, spread around three floors – something for everyone of all ages.

Discover Pendock Old Church (Heritage Open Days)
2025-09-13 14:00 - 17:00 | Pendock Old Church, Sledge Green, Upper Pendock, WR13 6JW
Enjoy the beautiful architecture of this Grade I-listed church, including its lovely tower, original Jacobean pews, fine chancel arch and an intriguing ‘stepway’ to Heaven?
Volunteers will be on hand between 2pm and 5pm to show you around and help you pinpoint the special features that make this charming little church such a gem.
Pendock Church is a local landmark, seen standing proud above the M50 motorway to Ross-on-Wye. Earthworks in fields to the north of the church indicate the site of a medieval village and probably the de Pendocks’ manor house.
Much of this charming church is Norman, but the tenth-century font indicates an even earlier building; in the fourteenth century new windows were added, and the west tower was constructed. There are lovely sixteenth-century pews and Jacobean communion rails. It is thought that the great English composer Sir Edward Elgar, who was born not many miles away, may once have played the lovely little Georgian organ inside.
Please park carefully on the lane or drive up the track to park nearer the church.

It’s a recipe for disaster, but of course, in true Farndale Ave Amateur Dramatics style, the show must go on even if it isn’t quite the way they planned it!
Come along for an evening of fun-filled entertainment and hilarity.
