St Michael's & All Angels, Church Street, Ledbury, Herefordshire 25 January 2017
Boards listing The Ten Commandments. Such boards were used to remind the congregation of religious texts and prayers such as the Apostles' Creed and the Lord's Prayer.
The site has been used for Christian worship from the 8th Century; in the 11th Century a large minster was constructed of which, no trace remains. The current church dates from the 12th Century, with the separate tower added in the 13th; there are seven Herefordshire churches with separate towers, used as fortifications against Welsh border raiders. Restoration and improvement work has continued over the centuries, the latest being the addition of unobtrusive solar roof panels invisible from the ground.
