St Marys Church Bushbury 3.7

The church lies almost on the edge of Wolverhampton and amidst fields. This ancient foundation tells us of Bushbury's separate and independent existence, from its days as an early agricultural parish until almost the mid-20th century, when industry and housing began creeping up from Wolverhampton in the south, until almost every field was taken over. But in this part of Bushbury there is still a lot of open space and views over rolling fields. Just beyond the church is Bushbury Hall and its farmyard outbuildings (all listed); and not far away is Northicote Farm; all are redolent of an agricultural past.
