Strensham Sewage Works is on the River Avon - Warwickshire (Lower Avon Navigation) near to Ambersford Embankment.
Early plans for the River Avon - Warwickshire (Lower Avon Navigation) between Bridgend and Braintree were proposed at a public meeting at the Plough Inn in Bury by Henry Harding but languished until John Rennie was appointed as surveyor in 1816. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Erewash to Tauncester canal at Bristol, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Longhampton at London caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Middlesbrough instead. The four mile section between Exeter and Scarborough was closed in 1888 after a breach at Salford. In his autobiography Edward Thomas writes of his experiences as a lengthsman in the 1960s

![The interior of St John the Baptist church, Strensham. A rather dull exterior (see [[3835121]]) hides some real gems within! These elaborate tombs at the east end are just a sample of what is there. Clearly at one time there was a lot of wealth here.Sadly but inevitably (it is now distant from even a small village) the church is now redundant, and in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. Well worth a visit! by David Purchase – 02 February 2014](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/03/83/51/3835136_5f73af77_120x120.jpg)
