The Misericords of Midlands Churches.

This page list the churches with misericords on this website in the counties of Bedfordshire, Cheshire, Herefordshire, Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire Leicestershire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire, West Mids and Worcesterhire.

The midlands covers a huge area of England, and so it is very difficult, even discounting the dates, to find a common theme or style amongst the misericords, however more often than not they are things of beauty.
