MADLEY CHURCH Herefordshire is in the village of Madley, six miles west of Hereford. The medieval church is named for the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Is is a great example of Norman architecture with gargoyles carved into the tower itself. It is a Grade I listed building. It replaced an earlier church that had been founded by St Dubricius, a sixth century evangelist of South Wales.

Madley Church tinted stone lithograph by C.Radclyffe. Image courtesy of ancestryimages.com The church has an unusual polygonal apse decorated with external pinnacles, which is quite rare. Only two other polygonal apses exist in England; one at Wells Cathedral in Somerset and another at Marden, in Hereford. The apse stands over an underground crypt thought to be the last medieval crypt in England. The interior has stained glass from the 13th and 14th centuries, the oldest dating to about 1250 AD. There are some fine of 14th century wall paintings, telling the story of Jesus's death and resurrection, dating from about 1300. The large font dates from the 12th century, while the pulpit is fairly recent. During the Middle Ages Madley was popular for pilgrimage, some because of its associations with St Dyfrig, but others because a statue of the Virgin Mary here was said to have special powers. It is believed the statue was located in the crypt beneath the chancel. The crypt is accessed by an almost hidden passage beside the Lulham Pew. Once used as a coal store, it is now used for meetings and meditation. |
