-- How to find Fladbury The village is situated between the river Avon and the A44 (older maps may show this as the A4538 or even B4084). It is 3 miles West of the market town of Evesham and 12 miles south of the ancient city of Worcester. Access from the motorway network (M5, M42 or M40) is good. The village can be approached from the East via the A44 and the railway bridge of from the west via the B4048 over the river Avon at the Jubilee bridge.
--------------- Choir Vestry and Tower The screen was placed here in 1953 and records the Parish Charities. Behind this, at the base of the tower, lies the choir Vestry. Note the rounded tops to the norman windows. The impressive tomb of Sir John Throckmorton (1445) and his wife Eleanor are the oldest in the church and forerly stood in the Nave. Sir John took part in the French wars of Henry V and became the under-treasurer of England. The Throckmortons originated from a vilage of that name situated just north of Fladbury. Sir John moved to Coughton, near Alcester, when he married Eleanor, heiress to Coughton Court. Their son, Thomas, was grandfather of Sir Nicholas Throckmorton, a renown Elizabethan courtier after whom Throgmorton Street in the City of London is named. In 1752 a wooden steeple on the top of the tower was removed and the tower raised to its present height. In 1983 the tower pinnacles and balustrade were restored at a cost of over £30,000. Many years earlier the bell frame had been found to be unsafe and the bells removed for safe-keeping. Money was raised (via income from the Walkabout) to replace the frame and re-hang the ring of eight bells in 1991. The bells were rung again after 60 years of silence, bell-ringing practice is held on Monday at 7:30pm and bells are rung on some Sunday mornings. -- http://www.fladbury.com/
