The Old Rectory, Stretford The garage/stable block attached to the Old Rectory, which stands at the head of the drive to the right. The house was built in 1870 by Thomas Nicholson. I can't quite decide if the stable building is a contemporary, or if it is a 21st century building in High Victorian style.

Eardisland Village Hall The former village school, the subject of a long fight to prevent its closure which made national headlines. The fight was lost and the school closed in 1979. The building was saved and became the village hall. The house to the left was the school master's house.

St Mary, Eardisland A well loved village church set in an immaculate churchyard with venerable yew trees. An early 13th century foundation, extended in the 14th century. The tower was rebuilt in 1760 by Thomas Hooper of Yarpole and the whole building was restored by Henry Curzon in 1864-5.

St Mary, Eardisland A short stretch of the South wall and you can see much of the building's history. The 13th century is represented by the thin lancet window and the redundant priest's door on the extreme right (not required when the church was extended to the East). The buttresses are also from this period, although they were 'restored' in 1864-5. The three-light 'Herefordshire' window dates from the early 14th century. It is ornamented with ballflower, also a county speciality.

St Mary, Eardisland Victorian architect Henry Curzon's 1864-5 version of the three-light 'Herefordshire' window, a handsome piece encrusted with ball flower. Sadly, a superb medieval example is found to the right, demonstrating forcibly that less is definitely more.

St Mary, Eardisland The interior, looking West from the chancel. The fine nave roof dates from 1864-5, but is likely to be a replica of the original of which one tie beam survives at the West end. The church was heavily restored 1864-5 by Henry Curzon but much of interest survives.

The case was designed by H.B. Adderley and made by Bridgeman and Sons in 1920. It's inspiration was the 16th century organ at Old Radnor.

St Mary, Eardisland A fine memorial window on the South side of the nave by Powell and Sons of 1951-2. The window remembers Mrs E. E. Clowes of Burton Court, who died in 1949. The window was funded by a Mrs Stanford, a niece of Mrs Clowes who lived in Suffolk. Somehow the quotation from Philippians Chap 1, Verse 3 'I thank my God upon every remembrance' has become 'I thank my God for every remembrance'. The village  website shows polite correspondence between Powells and the vicar, but the error was never corrected.
