Hi gah,

The church is Saint Mary Magdalene.

Many records are held at Shropshire archives, Shrewsbury.

In 2003 my wife and I spent twelve months cutting back the undergrowth to transcribe the 400 plus monumental inscriptions in the churchyard. Copies are available from the Shropshire Family History Society.

Several photographs of Quatford church are amongst the thirty two churches in the Bridgnorth area on one of my web sites at;

Some Quatford families were baptised/married etc in Bridgnorth, so best to check St Mary's & St Leonards records as well
Good Luck !
