Ladbroke – All Saints.
All Saints parish church was originally built in the 13th century and was entirely rebuilt in the 14th century.
Late in the 15th century the nave and chancel were raised, the church was last restored and re-roofed by Sir Gilbert Scott in 1876. The memorial stained glass is dedicated to Charles Rowland Palmer-Morewood High Sheriff of Warwickshire (1881). The window itself is 15th century inserted into a 14th century recess.
The effigy is thought to be that of Roger de Paveley the second rector of Ladbroke (1298-1303) but is probably later. It was discovered under the chancel during restoration in 1876. The sedilia with three seats, has moulded cinquefoil ogee heads with crockets, poppy-head finials and head-stops over the moulded mullions dividing the seats; except for the two mullions it is a modern restoration.
This window show the encounter between Mary Magdalene and Jesus at the Tomb. The inscription is from John 20:17 and reads “Do not touch me, for I am not yet ascended to my Father”.
