Pershore
is a market town on the River Avon
about ten miles from Worcester and six miles from Evesham. It is famed
for its elegant Georgian architecture and magnificent Abbey.
Pershore Baptist Church, Broad Street
2013 images
One of the oldest Baptist Churches in England – founded in 1658 – the present early Victorian Manse is a wonder of polychrome brickwork and Cotswold stone dressings.
The church facade boasts a row of shields ('FAITH, HOPE, CHARITY, PEACE'), a book and scrolled vegetation in stone. The detail below shows the open pages of a volume with imitation printed text. The shield bears the word 'CHARITY'.
Below: the worn emblems of a castle and three scimitars.
