St Thomas Day 21st December
Listen out for the church Bells ringing on 21st December morning at 8.00am.
This has been a Bretforton tradition for many years and is thought to be to have called workers to The Manor to collect their Christmas money.
Further information on this ancient tradition throughout Worcestershire can be found on the internet.

St Leonards Church
Partially inspired by the decorations at Wells Cathedral, the Grade I listed church building dates from the late 13th century onwards with medieval and some later additions; it seats 140. There is a band of bell ringers and a flower guild and a church and brass cleaning rota.[3][5] Some of the most striking features are Victorian glass but fragments of medieval glass also survive.[3][25] One window was designed by Frederick Preedy, a renowned Victorian church architects; he was born in 1820 at Offenham, near Evesham, and worked in Worcester before moving to London.
