The Church of St Calixtus is situated 3 miles out of Bridgnorth, just off the Bridgnorth to Broseley Road. It is a small hamlet set in an idyllic village setting with a small stream running alongside the churchyard. The hamlet has recently increased with the addition of new housing. The church was consecrated in 1138 by Bishop Betton. It is mainly Norman with Anglo-Saxon roots, with Roman tufa stone found in the walls. A later addition was built during the mid 1800’s.
