^{*************}

^{Bromsgrove is a town in Worcestershire, England. The town is about 16 miles (26 km) north-east of Worcester and 13 miles (21 km) south-west of Birmingham city centre. It had a population of 29,237 in 2001 (39,644 in the wider Bromsgrove/Catshill urban area).[1] Bromsgrove is the main town in the larger Bromsgrove District.}

^{The Church of St John the Baptist, Bromsgrove is a Grade I listed parish church in the Church of England in Bromsgrove.[1]}

^{The church dates from the 12th century, but is predominantly of 14th and 15th century construction. It was restored in 1858 by George Gilbert Scott.}

^{There are 13th century and early 16th century alabaster monuments in the north chapel and an alabaster effigy of 1517 in the chancel.}

^{In 1855, the church built Holy Trinity Church, Lickey as a chapel of ease.}

^{Buried side by side in the churchyard are two railwaymen, engine driver Thomas Scaife and fireman Joseph Rutherford, who both lost their lives when the boiler of their locomotive exploded in Bromsgrove station on 10 November 1840. Their gravestones both show reliefs of steam locomotives. However, the locomotive involved was an experimental one called 'Eclipse' and not one of the curious engines built for the railway by Norris of Philadelphia, an American, which is depicted on the stones.[2]}
