Former Church of St Mary, Bradley
Image: © Stephen Craven Taken: 17 Jul 2026
There are at least three locations in England called Bradley with a church dedicated to St Mary. Unlike the others, this one is not listed. I have not found a date for it, though the style of the window is 'arts and crafts' of the late 19th or early 20th century. All the usual sites (such as the Church Heritage Record and achurchnearyou.com) suggest the church is still open, but there was a 'For Sale' board in the corner of the churchyard. The estate agent's website confirmed the building and its curtilage were on the market. It also offered the information that St Mary's was built as a Methodist Church but had been used by the Church of England for many years.
