3. Stories from the Stones 'Talking Boxes'. Blue Talking Boxes have been installed to start to tell the local story in the parish churches of Broadwas, Cotheridge, Martley, Shelsley Walsh, Stockton-on-Teme and Lindridge (villages on the route from Worcester to Tenbury Wells). Each church and parish is unique with its own story to tell.
