St Joseph & St Etheldreda Catholic Church, Rugeley, Staffordshire - Added to Places of Worship in West Midlands

I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:

Land owner permission not required.

Located in the town of Rugeley, parked in the Argos carpark just across the road (there is a carpark adjacent but charges!).

Grade II listed Roman Catholic church. 1849-50; by Charles Hansom. Sandstone ashlar. Plain tile roofs with stone coped gable-ends. Large west tower with prominent diagonal buttresses, stair-turret with pinnacle, trefoil balustrade with small pinnacles and tall octagonal stone spire with lucarnes and thin flying buttresses; a weather-cock on spire.

Full details available here including an interesting story regarding the spire: St Joseph & St Etheldreda, Rugeley.
