St. John the Baptist Church, Elmore

Highlight • Historical Site

The church is an ancient stone structure with an embattled tower at the west end and an extensive churchyard. The north aisle was the original chancel and the lower of the three sections of the tower is from the 13th century. Elmore is on the eastern bank for the River Severn. A rock here obstructs the course of the Severn making it un-navigable at low water.
