Churches

[edit]
  • Kidderminster has two so-called "Commissioner Churches". The first was St George's church, on Radford Avenue. This was designed by Francis Goodwin and built in 1821-1824,[17] finally being consecrated in April 1824. It had the third largest grant by the Commission, of just over £17,000.00, of any church outside London.[18] The second church was St John's church, on the Bewdley Road. This church was built in 1843 and the architect was Gordon Alexander, although the grant in this case was just over £4,000.

Under the Local Government Act 1972, it was proposed for Kidderminster to be part of the West Midlands metropolitan county, but it was scrapped after the proposed county boundary was trimmed back to Stourbridge.
