Summary Description

Bushley is a rural Parish in the lower division of the hundred of Pershore, in the county of Worcester, 5 miles to the south of Upton, and 1.5 miles to the north west of Tewkesbury in Gloucestershire, its post town. There has been a place of worship in Bushley for over 800 years and the present Church is thought to be the third to have been built on the site. The Church is a Grade II listed building and is a fine example of classic Victorian perpendicular architecture. It is built of blue lias quarried from Sarn Hill, with spire and ornamental work from Postlip stone. The church of St Peter was entirely rebuilt in 1843 by the Rev. Dr. E.C. Dowdeswell and consists of chancel, north and south transepts, nave and west tower, vestry and spire.
