Part of the churchyard with the cross which is seen at Image The Anglican parish church of St James was built in the 11th century, partly rebuilt and extended in the 14th century, altered in the 15th century and restored in 1864. The nave has some 11th century herringbone masonry, and the rest of the church is of rubble stone under slate roofs. Inside there is an octagonal medieval font and many memorials. Listed, grade I, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1178822 The village of Wigmore is set astride the A4110 road some 8 miles west of Ludlow in the northwest part of Herefordshire. An Anglo-Saxon village which, after the building of the castle, became a small but thriving market town. Wigmore declined when the castle owners moved their administrative centre to Ludlow and reverted to village status.
