Click to view
Miller (1890) mentions only the Chapel of St. Simon and St. Jude, "built 1685]. A modern font at Alfrick St. Mary's is reported in the Victoria County History (Worcester, vol. 4, 1924), but the early fabric of the church "dates from the early part of the 12th century". A medieval font was acquired from nearby Lulsley in 1974, as noted in the VCH (ibid.) [cf. Index entry for Lulsley]. [NB: we have no information on the original font of this church]
