Blessed Robert Grissold and Saint Francis of Assisi

Blessed Robert Grissold in the parish of St Francis of Assisi, Baddesley Clinton

Baddesley Clinton is a small village in Warwickshire, 7 miles from Warwick and 12 miles from Stratford-upon-Avon. It is 15 miles from the centre of the City of Birmingham and is near to both the M40 and M42 motorways.

The Catholic Church of St Francis of Assisi serves a parish of approximately 60 square miles (100 square kilometers) and comprises the villages of Baddesley Clinton, Chadwick End, Lapworth, Rowington, Wroxall, Honiley, Beausale, and Haseley.

In October 2005 the area served by the Church of Blessed Robert Grissold, Balsall Common, was detached from the parish of Dorridge and added to the parish of Baddesley Clinton, adding the areas of Temple Balsall, Balsall Common and Berkswell to the parish.

Father John Sharp took over the responsibility of parish priest for Blessed Robert Grissold. Father Sebastian retained his role as priest in charge responsible for the management and spiritual welfare of our parish.
