St Michael's Church, Baddesley Clinton

Highlight • Historical Site

The church is situated near to the National Trust House, just to the east of main car park. There is a path (a 250 yards section of the Heart of England Way) between the reception of the National Trust House and the church. Many of the visitors to the NT House walk up the path to visit the church. Both church and house have long and close links with the Ferrers family.

The earliest record of a church is dated 1305, but it is believed there was a church on or near this site two, or possibly three centuries earlier. The quick tempered Lord of the Manor Nicholas Brome who built the tower as a penance is buried just outside the south door “within the parish church of St James in Baddesley Clinton, there as people may tread upon mee when they cone into the church…” The dedication has changed from St James to St Michael, possibly following 19th century restoration.
