North Baddesley Church
North
Baddesley
was another vill held by the Mortimers
of Wigmore
probably from 1075. Around 1160 the church was granted to the
Hospitalers. Of the old church little remains before the fifteenth
century, while the west tower was only built in 1674. The chancel was originally
narrower than the nave, but this was rebuilt in the fifteenth century
as a single width building. A Hospitaler altar tomb remains in the
chancel.
