1.0 Introduction1.1 The purpose of a Conservation Area Character Appraisal is toidentify the factors and features which make an area special,based on an in-depth assessment of an area’s buildings,spaces, evolution and sense of place. This is the first step indeveloping a management plan for the continuedpreservation and enhancement of a Conservation Area.An appraisal evaluates the positive, neutral and negativefeatures of the area and suggests opportunities forimprovement. It is not unusual for the boundary of aConservation Area to fluctuate over time as the area evolves,and an assessment of the current and potential boundaries isnormally part of the appraisal process.1.2 The St John’s area was originally part of the Bromsgrove TownConservation Area designated by Worcestershire CountyCouncil in 1968. During the recent appraisal of the TownConservation Area it was recognised that the St. Johns areawas worthy of its own independent status in view of itsunique character.1.3 This appraisal of the St. John’s Conservation Area was carriedout in February 2011 in accordance with the guidance givenby English Heritage in their ‘Guidance on Conservation AreaAppraisals’ publication. Although produced by the Council,local societies and residents will be encouraged to contributeto and comment on the draft document. This will result in awell rounded assessment of the area incorporating localknowledge, perceptions and suggestions.1.4 During the public consultation the draft character appraisalwas made available on the Council’s website, at theCustomer Service centre and the Council House to ensurethat it reached a wide audience.1.5 Map 2 identifies positive, neutral and negative buildingswithin the St. John’s Conservation Area – this is not anexclusive list and omission of any particular building shouldnot be taken as an indication that it has no value. Positivebuildings make a notable contribution to the character andappearance of the Conservation Area and are usually goodexamples of historic buildings with only minor alterationsor additions. Neutral buildings make a limited contributionand are generally the much altered historic buildings, butmay provide opportunities for enhancement. Neutralbuildings are those properties which detract from thecharacter and appearance of the Conservation Area, wherereplacement with a new building would be encouraged,subject to compliance with other planning policies.2St. John’s Conservation Area character Appraisal

All rights reserved Bromsgrove District Council 100023519. 20112.0 Planning PolicyContext2.1 A Conservation Area is defined in the 1967 Civic AmenitiesAct as “an area of special architectural or historic interest,the character or appearance of which it is desirable topreserve or enhance”. It is not the purpose of aConservation Area to prevent development, but to managechange in a positive and proactive way that benefitscurrent and future generations.2.2 Conservation Area status means that a special form ofPlanning Permission called Conservation Area Consent isrequired for the total or substantial demolition of anybuilding over 115m3 in size, the demolition of a boundarywall over 1m in height next to the highway or 2melsewhere and the removal of any pre-1925 gravestones(except on land associated with the Church). There is ageneral presumption against the loss of buildings whichmake a positive contribution to the character orappearance of the Conservation Area. Additional controlsare also placed over trees within the area, meaning that anowner must submit a formal notification of works to theCouncil six weeks before starting work. Permitteddevelopment rights (works that can be done withoutPlanning Permission) are also slightly different withindesignated Conservation Areas.St. John’s Conservation Area character Appraisal3

3.0 Definition of SpecialInterest3.1 The special interest of a Conservation Area is defined bymore than its appearance and includes the atmosphere,texture, sense of place and setting as well as more obviousqualities such as groups of historic buildings. Notablebuildings and the spaces between buildings set an overallcontext for an area, but a designated Conservation Areashould be more than just a collection of attractivebuildings.3.2 The St. John’s Conservation Area has substantial historicand architectural interest, with some of the oldest survivingbuildings in the town within the Conservation Area.The Church is a strong landmark feature for the town, and issupported by a collection of surrounding listed andunlisted historic buildings dating from the 17th to 19thcenturies. The area as a whole has a leafy green settingwhich contributes to the local sense of place andestablishes a positive relationship between the built andthe natural environment.St. John’s Conservation Area character Appraisal5

4.0 Assessment of SpecialInterest4.1 Location and SettingThe St. John’s Conservation Area is located to the west ofBromsgrove town centre, which itself lies in the south-westof the District of Bromsgrove, approximately 15 milessouth-west of Birmingham and 15 miles north-east ofWorcester. The proposed Conservation Area is centredupon the Grade I listed St. John’s Church, which has anelevated position to the west of the town centre, andincludes the 16th century churchyard and the 1857cemetery further to the north. The adjacent BromsgroveTown Conservation Area which focuses on the historic HighStreet was designated in 1968, and subsequently extendedin 1983 and 1989.Location Map ofSt. John’sConservation Area inRelation toBromsgrove DistrictThis map is reproduced from Ordnance Survey material with the permission ofOrdnance Survey on behalf of the Controller of Her Majesty’s Stationery Office© Crown Copyright.

4.2 Historic Development and ArchaeologySt Johns Church and Churchyard lies immediately to thewest of the town on an area of raised ground overlookingwhat was once the Roman Road between Droitwich andthe north midlands. This area may have been the site of anearlier Anglo Saxon Church, and the earliest remnants inthe existing Church date from the 12th century,incorporating what was once a cruciform aisleless building.It has been speculated that the site of the existing Church isclose to that of a much older nunnery and certainly recordsof Bromsgrove refer to a priest within the manor in 1086.The extent of the medieval churchyard has not beenclearly identified but 13th and 14th century deposits havebeen found on the former Market Hall site on St. JohnStreet. The Grade I listed Church, its Grade II listed lychgateand the Grade II listed Ye Olde Black Cross public house onWorcester Road are the only surviving medieval buildingswithin and around the Conservation Area boundary.Previous archaeological investigations behind St. JohnStreet (which contains 17th and 18th century buildings)discovered pre 17th century deposits - further evidencethat this part of Bromsgrove was the focus of the earliestsettlement. Limited archaeological investigation has takenplace within the Conservation Area, however it is likely thatfurther medieval deposits survive along St. John Street.The parish of St. John’s was substantial and once providedone of the wealthiest Church livings in the country. The firstparish register was recorded in 1590 and included details ofthe earliest burials within the churchyard. The southern sideof St. John Street was developed as tenement housing andevidence of 17th and 18th century buildings which mayhave burnt down was discovered on the Market Hall sitein 1994. The expansion of St. Johns continued steadilythroughout the 19th and 20th century with the growth ofthe town centre to the south and east and a large area ofhousing established to the north.St. John’s Conservation Area character Appraisal 7

4.3 Key ViewsThe Grade I listed Church is very prominent in views from inand around Bromsgrove town centre and in and out ofthe St. John’s Conservation Area. The group of historicbuildings along St. John Street have significant group value,a fact which was referenced in the various statutory listingdescriptions for the buildings. These views are enhanced bythe number of fine trees and leafy setting of the area, whichis quite different from the busy retail activity within theadjacent Bromsgrove Town Conservation Area. Significantviews have been identified in Map 2 attached as anappendix.4.4 Prevailing and Former UsesThe majority of the Conservation Area was historicallyoccupied by ecclesiastical land, with commercial andresidential properties appearing along St. John Street fromthe 17th century. Crown Close was once part of a largerarea of glebe land, leased for grazing etc to support theChurch. The area is now predominantly residential withcommercial businesses and offices along St. John Streetand Kidderminster Road.4.5 Architectural Character and Key BuildingsSt. John StreetThe group of historic buildings along St John Street, whichincludes several listed buildings, has a strong streetscenepresence and defines the southern boundary of theConservation Area. Views of this group are prominent fromthe adjacent Bromsgrove Town Conservation Area andcontribute to the setting of St. John’s Churchyard.St John’s House at no 22 St John Street is Grade II listed anddates from the 18th century, although it was substantiallyrebuilt and extended in 1975. The building is two storey,constructed in traditional red brick with timber sliding sashwindows and a panelled door with fanlight above.The building wraps around the corner onto KidderminsterRoad, with an open car park area facing the roundabout.A notable yew tree (which is contemporary with thebuilding) softens this corner and improves the setting ofthe listed building, which has been undermined by thedominance of the highway.8St. John’s Conservation Area character Appraisal

The Wishing Well PH at no.16 St. John Street (formerly theShoulder of Mutton) was built in the early 19th century, buta pub is thought to have existed on the site since the 15thcentury. The building is constructed of painted brickworkwith timber weatherboarding at the first floor and a tiledroof. The windows and doors have been replaced and thebuilding extended and internally modernised bysuccessive owners, but the building retains a historiccharacter which makes a positive contribution to theConservation Area. The caves to the rear were explored andidentified as post medieval icehouses or outbuildings in1995, although there are conjectural references to historictunnels running between the Church and St John Street.No.14 St. John Street (currently occupied by the GeorgeDavis salon) is also Grade II listed and dates from the 17thcentury. The most distinctive feature of this simplesandstone building is the single head of square timberframing at attic level inscribed RD1674. No.12a to the rightis a 19th century addition, which has been reworked againin the 20th century.The Grade II listed no.10 St John Street dates from the 18thcentury and is officially listed as no.12. This wellproportioned Georgian house (now in office use) retainstypical detailing of the period with a symmetrical form,central doorpiece with curved pediment and timber slidingsash windows. This building forms a positive foreground tothe listed Church on the hill above, and features strongly inviews of the Conservation Area from Market Place.Adjacent to this and set back from the road is the formerDistrict Council Offices, which was converted to theSt. John’s Court care home in the 1980’s. This grandJacobean style building was once a much smaller butstill ornate 19th century vicarage but was significantlyextended in the 1940s and 1960s, before it becameGrade II listed in 1971. The wrought iron gates weredesigned in 1953 by the Bromsgrove Guild.St. John’s Conservation Area character Appraisal 9

The Church and ChurchyardThe Grade I listed Church of St John the Baptist is at the heart ofthe St. John’s Conservation Area and incorporates an earlier 12thcentury Church with later phases from the 15th to 19thcenturies. It is conjectured that an earlier minster may haveexisted on the site based on topographical surveys (the site is ona hill, next to a stream and a Roman Road) and certainly recordsrefer to a priest in the manor of Bromsgrove in 1086. The earliestChurch had an aisleless cruciform layout, with the aisles addedand the chancel rebuilt in the 13th century. The aisles weresubsequently rebuilt in the 15th century and the porch added -the tracery on the north aisle windows survives from this period.The building was extensively restored by Sir George Gilbert Scottin 1858 and is now an impressive Perpendicular Gothic stylebuilding with a battlemented parapet and crocketed pinnacles.The three stone statues of St Peter, St Paul and St John the Baptistabove the great west window are medieval. The octagonal spire,which is a significant landmark in distant views, is 200ft high.The interior contains the 15th century tombs of Sir HenryStafford and Sir John Talbot of Grafton, as well as later featuresand detailing such as the mosaic chancel floor designed by theBromsgrove Guild. The existing Church has a commandingposition overlooking the town, and features strongly in viewsfrom the nearby High Street and from the cemetery because ofits elevated location.The Church steps leading down to St. John Street are medievaland predate the lychgate which was erected in 1656. Originally63 steps, now 48, the sandstone steps are important to thesetting of the Church and were extensively repaired in 2006.The lychgate which is Grade II listed, is unfortunately in very poorcondition due to continued acts of vandalism but is scheduled tobe repaired in May 2011.The extent of the medieval churchyard is not known, but existinggravestones date from 1617 to 1857, when the new cemeterywas opened to the north. The Lime trees which surround thechurchyard were planted around 1790 and the stone boundarywalls added in 1815. Many 17th and 18th century memorialssurvive within the churchyard, although somewhat eroded bytime. One of the more notable examples is the pair ofgravestones erected for Thomas Scaife and Joseph Rutherfordwho were engineers of the Birmingham and Gloucester Railwaykilled in an industrial accident in November 1840. Theirgravestones were funded by their former colleagues and includea railway based poem and plaques depicting steam locomotives.10St. John’s Conservation Area character Appraisal

Perry Hall, Perry Lane and Church LanePerry Hall on Kidderminster Road is a Grade II listed building,and dates from the early 19th century but is thought to havebeen built on the site of an earlier farm. The building is now partof Bromsgrove School but was built in 1828 by Captain JohnAdams, a key local figure, who was commemorated by theGothic memorial cross which until recently stood in the centreof Bromsgrove cemetery. In 1860 the property passed to theHousman family and was the childhood home of A.E Housmanthe poet, his brother Laurence Housman the playwright andsister Clemence who was a novelist and suffragette.Perry Lane adjacent was once part of John Adams estate with thefour cottages built in the early 1850’s. The cottages have all beenaltered and extended but remain in residential use. The adjacentcottages at 7-11 Kidderminster Road are of similar age but arenow in a mix of residential and office use. Their appearance hasunfortunately been affected by the introduction of PVC windowsand concrete tiled roofs.Almost opposite Perry Hall at 16 Kidderminster Road is RydalMount, which was built in the late 1850’s by nailmaster ThomasScroxton. The building was originally named Alma House afterthe Battle of Alma in 1854 – the first battle of the Crimean War.The house later became the Vicarage to St. Johns Church beforeit was sold in 1977. The site also includes a rendered octagonalgatehouse facing Church Lane which adds interest to thestreetscene along with the historic stone boundary walls.Opposite this on the corner of Church Lane and KidderminsterRoad, is the Bromsgrove Unionist Club, originally known asOakdene and built in 1887 to a design by John Cotton (nowburied in Bromsgrove Cemetery) for the Sanders family.Benjamin Sanders was a very influential Bromsgrove citizen,owner of the town’s Button Factory, and lived in the house untilhis death in 1910. His daughters gifted the land opposite to thetown, now the site of Sanders Park. The trees within the groundsof Oakdene are protected by a Tree Preservation Order, the onlyone within the Conservation Area boundary12St. John’s Conservation Area character Appraisal

4.6 Building MaterialsRed brick is the predominant building material within theConservation Area, with some painted and timber framedbuildings on St. John Street. The Church is red sandstone,most of the memorials and gravestones are also sandstonewith cast iron railings around some of the Victorianmonuments within the cemetery. The stone boundary wallsaround the Churchyard and cemetery define thestreetscene particularly along Church Lane and make apositive contribution to the character and appearance ofthe Conservation Area.4.7 Public RealmThe public realm along St. John’s Street has undoubtablybeen affected by the intrusion of the highway, whicheffectively severs the area from the rest of the town centre.The Spadesbourne Brook on the opposite side (now next toa temporary surface car park) is the only softening featurebut has limited effect given its continuing condition issuesand past culverting. Fortunately the large grassed area bySt John’s Court and Crown Close have been retained andcontribute positively to the approach to the Church fromthe south.The most positive aspect of the existing public realm is thesurvival of the historic stone walls which help frame viewsthrough the streetscene and encircle key open spaces.4.8 Important Trees and Green SpacesSt. Johns churchyard is the key open space within theConservation Area, followed closely by the cemetery to thenorth. The 2007 English Heritage publication “ParadisePreserved” summed up the value of historic cemeteries asopen spaces,“Cemeteries were conceived and designed both as gardensof the dead and as a memorial. They are functionallandscapes and many of our historic cemeteries are stillbeing used for the business of burying and mourning, andas places for quiet reflection. They are valued and enjoyedby local people as open spaces and for the wildlife and theymake an important contribution to the quality of life of thelocal community. Cemeteries are distinct from other burialplaces and other green spaces. This interweaving ofarchitecture, sculpture, landscape, wildlife and poetry is likeno other place in the historic environment”St. John’s Conservation Area character Appraisal 13

5.0 Proposed BoundaryChangesSt John Street, St Johns Church and Churchyard, Perry Lane,part of Kidderminster Road and part of Crown Close wasoriginally included as part of the Bromsgrove TownConservation Area in 1968. Initially defined as two subareas the St. Johns section became part of the town centredesignation over time, despite a physical gap in theboundary between the High Street and St. John Street.Map 1 shows the existing designated boundary.As part of the formal review of the Bromsgrove TownConservation Area in 2011, the designation and expansionof the St. Johns as an individual Conservation Area wasidentified as a possible revision. This was in recognition ofthe unique character of St. Johns and distinct specialinterest, which is significantly different from the characterand appearance of the Bromsgrove Town ConservationArea. Map 2 shows the extended boundary of the St. John’sConservation Area which includes Bromsgrove Cemeteryand some additional properties on Church Lane and CrownClose. A list of properties within the revised boundary isattached as Appendix 1 for clarity.The separation of the town centre and St. John’sdesignations and associated boundary amendments wasformally approved by the Council’s Cabinet on 1st June2011, following a public consultation period on theproposed St. Johns Conservation Area boundary andcharacter appraisal. The consultation period on theBromsgrove Town Conservation Area amendments andcharacter appraisal ended on 4th March 2011 and noobjections were raised to the proposed separation intotwo designated conservation areas.16St. John’s Conservation Area character Appraisal

6.0 Management ProposalsAppendix 2 includes a draft management plan for thearea. This is not an absolute list but outlines the main issueswhich need to be addressed and possible tasks andtimescales. It should be made clear that the Council cannotgive a definite commitment to undertake these tasks, whichwill ultimately depend on future financial and staffresources.The main issues which need ongoing management areEnsuring that the redevelopment of the market sitepreserves or enhances the conservation area, andpositively contributes to its settingQuality of signage should adhere to the Council’sadopted supplementary guidance on shopfronts andadvertisementsMaintenance of the open spaces and treesRepairs to the historic gravestones within thechurchyard7.0 Public ConsultationBefore final publication this document was subject to asix week public consultation period to gather views on theassessment of the area, the proposed boundary changesand the draft management plan.St. John’s Conservation Area character Appraisal 17
