Madresfield Village

Many of the buildings were built for workers on the Madresfield estate. The church, dedicated to St Mary the Virgin, was consecrated 10 November 1867. This view is from the Worcestershire Beacon.

The church spire to the left of centre is Holly Mount United Reformed Church. The infill television transmitter is to the right of the picture. This also transmits local radio and the structure is adorned with a plethora of aerials and microwave dishes.

Madresfield Court

Viewed from Lady Howard De Walden's Drive on North Hill. The court, currently covered in scaffolding, has been the ancestral home for several centuries of the Lygon family, whose eldest sons took the title of Earl Beauchamp from 1815 until 1979. It is the real location for Evelyn Waugh's "Brideshead Revisited".

Milestone in layby

This milestone (a Grade II listed structure) is on the east side of a bypassed portion of the old road, now a layby. A nineteenth-century benchmark on top, shown on old maps with a height of 66 ft above Ordnance Datum (Liverpool) appears to have been filled with cement at some stage. The 1904 map shows a north pointing arrow, which conforms to the shape of the cement fill.

Bench mark on milestone

This nineteenth-century milestone is a Grade II listed structure and sits on the east side of the main road just north of Rhydd. The small indentation on top is the remains of an Ordnance Survey bench mark that possibly dates back to the First primary levelling of England & Wales in 1844. It was included on the Manchester to Gloucester levelling line, but appears to have been moved since then from a position shown on the 1884 map half a mile further south.
