Farewell and Chorley is a parish in the Offlow Hundred of Staffordshire. The villages of Farewell and Chorley, that make up the parish, lie three or four miles north-west of the city of Lichfield. The parish council is a joint one with Curborough and Elmhurst.[1]
Farewell Priory was founded by Roger de Clinton, Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry, (1129 – 48).
The parish church of St Bartholomew was rebuilt in brick in 1745, with the exception of the stone chancel. There was further restoration in 1848 when the church was re-roofed. The church is a Grade-II* listed building for its surviving medieval fabric and fittings.
