Return to the front page

This church was adjacent to the large town cemetery but although it covered a large area there were not many graves with readable headstones.


Thomas Scaife and Joseph Rutherford both worked for the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway and were killed when the boiler on a steam locomotive exploded at Bromsgrove on 10th November 1840. Scaife was killed at once but Rutherford died the next day.
