Suitable for adults, plus older children with an interest in history. Children must be accompanied by a guardian. Trips will last approximately 1-1.5hrs, including refreshments.
This stunning 14th century church is the sole survivor of the lost village of Wolfhampcote. Its tough exterior of crooked windows, stout buttresses and multi-coloured patchwork stone conceals an orderly and serene interior. There is one step down to an uneven porch and a further step down to the nave. As a medieval church, St. Peter’s has poor wheelchair access. There is limited parking available next to the churchyard. No booking required, however we are asking for donations for refreshments.
