We found no entry for Hadsor in the Domesday survey. The entry for Hadsor in Lewis' Dictionary of 1848 notes: "The church, [...] with the exception of the tower and roof, which were restored in 1836, is a perfect remnant of the 14th century". Noake (1868) reports: "Church belongs to the Decorated style", but mentions no font in it. Miller (1890) reports a modern font in the 14th-century church here, and gives the first recorded rector here as "Willielmus de Upton ... 1268". Hadsor is mentioned in the Victoria County History (Worcester, vol. 3, 1913), in the entry for Droitwich, as having a demesne land there, but no mention is made of a chapel or church in it. English Heritage [Listing NGR: SO9156362552] (1969) notes: "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."
