St Michael and All Angels Parish Church,

Bodenham

Bodenham was known in Saxon times as “a rich man’s

village” and the residents in this well favoured setting

along the banks of the River Lugg have tried to maintain

this description of their wonderful buildings down the ages.

There are some clues that Bodenham was intended to

become grander than just this lovely village in the Lugg

valley; such as the unique lantern which today adorns the

church. It was thought that this was originally intended to

grow into a handsome spire. However, just like today

finding money for improvements and maintenance of the

church was not an easy task for Bodenham’s residents.

The Parish Church of St Michael and All Angels was originally constructed circa 1200

and altered and extended in the early 14th Century with further alterations late 14th

Century to early 15th Century. The chancel was rebuilt and shortened circa 1750 and

the Church was restored in 1835 and again in 1890-91. The ceiling of the chancel is

noteworthy for its beautiful ribbed vaulting.

Today, this beautiful Church again needs to fund restoration works. Whilst some

funding will come from outside sources, significant contributions need to come from the

Church itself. All donations from the Bodenham Open Garden Weekend will go directly

to the Church so that this wonderful building will remain at the centre of the village.

Refreshments and Stalls

Refreshments and toilet facilities will

be available at St Michael and

All Angels Parish Church.

There will also be stalls selling an

interesting variety of local produce,

gifts, cakes, cards, plants and handicrafts
