(Welcome to Kilpeck Parish Council’s Website)


Kilpeck Church is described as ‘one of the most perfect Norman village churches in England In c.850 a charter records the gift of the Church with a surrounding estate to Bishop Crecielis; The graveyard was originally rounded denoting an even older religious site. It was evidently an important and ancient site. The present building, in red sandstone, is a typical lay-out of nave, chancel and apse of c.1134-1145, though it may incorporate some Saxon masonry. The builder was Hugh de Kilpeck. The Church’s glory is the wealth of decoration, originally painted and is the prime surviving example of the Herefordshire School of Sculpture. Much of it seems to have been produced about the time the church was given to the Benedictine Abbey of Gloucester in 1143; a priory of this Abbey was nearby. The sculptures on the south doorway, chancel arch and west window are magnificent. The eighty-five corbels, include a ‘sheela-na-gig’, probably a fertility symbol. The massive font, is Norman or earlier, the gallery c.17th century. The church stands between the remains of Kilpeck Castle and the six acre deserted medieval village whose main road still serves as an access road to the church..

Photo 3: Close-up of plaque on bench that reads: "In memory of George Meadmore, a lifelong resident of Kilpeck Parish."

Kilpeck Parish Council is pleased to announce the installation of a new memorial bench, now in place near the churchyard.

The bench has been installed by our dedicated Lengthsman and was purchased by the Parish Council, along with a commemorative plaque, as a lasting tribute to George Meadmore, a lifelong resident of Kilpeck Parish.

Positioned in a peaceful spot surrounded by greenery, the bench offers a quiet place to sit, reflect, and enjoy the surroundings. The plaque on the bench reads:

In memory of George Meadmore, a lifelong resident of Kilpeck Parish

The Council is proud to honour Mr. Meadmore’s memory in this way and hopes the bench will be appreciated by both residents and visitors for years to come.

We invite all to take a moment to enjoy the bench and reflect on the contributions of those who have shaped our parish.
