Church Street

Saint Mary and All Saints Church is the Parish Church of Kidderminster and has been a centre of Christian Worship since the 15th and 16th centuries. The name Kidderminster tells us that there was an Anglo-Saxon minster here but the exact site is uncertain, however the names of the leading clergy are known from the 12th century onwards and are listed at the west end of the church. The present dark sandstone building dates from the 15th and 16th centuries, but significant restoration was carried out during the 19th century.

Baxter United Reformed Church on Bull Ring. The church is named after the influential 17th century Puritan preacher Richard Baxter (1615 - 1691) who lived and worked in Kidderminster between 1641 and 1661.
