"St Mary's Church, in Kingswinford village, was the parish church until 1832, and was made a district church in 1846, and a perpetual curacy, in the patronage of Lord Ward, and incumbency of the Rev. H Downing, MA. It is a small ancient fabric, with a massive tower, and contains several monumental inscriptions of the families of Corbyn, Scott, Hodgetts, and Bendy.
Holy Trinity Church at Wordsley, is a spacious and handsome structure, built in 1830/31. It was consecrated as the parish church of Kingswinford in 1831, when all the registers were removed to it from St Mary's, which was considered too small for the other church of this large and populous parish. The rectory is in the patronage of Lord Ward, and incumbency of the Rev Chas Girdlestone, MA.

Thanks very much RF. I just wondered why there were 2 dates, so thanks as well for the attachment.

Just getting over a cold which has left me with a cough, but other than that I'm good thanks.
