There is an entry for Hadzor [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SO9162/hadzor/] [accessed 17 September 2014] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The Victoria County History (Worcester, vol. 3, 1913) notes: "In 1315 the bishop consecrated an altar at Hadzor [...] although the church is known to have existed in 1268 [...] The building is a fine example of the middle of the 14th century, and except for the modern additions is almost completely of that date. It has undergone several restorations, the first being in 1835 [...] The roofs with the font, pulpit and altar table are all modern." English Heritage [Listing NGR: SO9156362552] (1969) reports: "Parish church, now deconsecrated and used as a store. Early to mid-C14, restored in 1835 and again in 1866, possibly by G E Street; interior altered c1975 after deconsecration.
