The church will welcome all for a showcase of historical significance and to honour the communities they serve from 10am on September 7 and 8. Visiting is free.
St Mary and All Saints Church in Hampton Lovett will showcase an exhibit around its nearby railway and footpath connections. Visitors can see a working model of the local railway, the church and the old Cutnall Green Halt.
Attendees can also learn about locally relevant Operation Starfish in World War II, discover the Monarch’s Way footpath passing through the churchyard – the escape route of the future King Charles II after the Battle of Worcester in 1651.
