Good Shepherd, Hook Common
The church of the Good Shepherd at Hook Common is a fairly modest building, opened in 1870 and built to the designs of G.R.Clarke to serve as a chapel of ease for nearby Upton on Severn. The unassuming exterior gives little away, sitting quietly in its roadside setting and would be easily overlooked.
Inside the architecture is equally modest and pleasantly simple, but the finest features here are in the glass, three Arts & Crafts windows in the nave, beginning with the fine west window by Henry Payne along with another made as a collaboration with his son Edward and the last by his pupil Florence Camm.
Happily the church is normally kept open for visitors and is a delightfully peaceful place.
