All Saints' chapel of ease, HOLLY BUSH, about two miles from the village [Castlemorton], is a structure in the Gothic stye, consisting of nave, south porch and a western turret containing one bell: the services here are conducted by the vicar: there are sittings for about 90 persons. A small undenominational Mission Hall was erected here [Castlemorton] in 1892, at the expense of, and supported by, Lady Henry Somerset, and will seat about 100 persons.
