St. Kenelm's Church, Clifton

Churchwardens and members of the Clifton Parochial Church Council outside St.Kenelm's Vhurch, Clifton-upon-Teme

The present church building in Clifton-upon-Teme has stood for almost 800 years. The Woodmanton chapel was added in 1350 and the spire was rebuilt in the 17th century after being blown down, only to be struck by lightning in 1884. The clock was added to the tower in 1897 to commemorate Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee.
