Historic Kidderminster Project Building Reports

Our volunteers have produced many historical reports describing historical and architectural features of significant and interesting houses and buildings in Kidderminster. The collection of reports (presently numbering 202) can be viewed or downloaded as via the links below. (Updated 24 February 2022).

Printed copies of the report collection are held by the Museum of Carpet, the Worcestershire Archives at the Hive, and are also in Kidderminster Library (where they are presently stored in the Ephemera section). For logistical reasons we are not able to keep the hard copy as up to date as the digital records held on this website.

On the left is shown the title page of one of the reports concerning the history of the Baxter Church and its predecessor - The Old Meeting.

Index: A comprehensive index, which includes most places and family names contained within the collection of reports, has been prepared and is updated from time to time. This can be viewed and/or downloaded by clicking INDEX (last updated 18 March 2022).
