Inside St Michael's Church, Witley Court, Worcestershire
According to Wikipedia:-
'Saint Michael and All Angels Church
Interior of Great Witley Church
The church, of Saint Michael and All Angels, is a brick building but like the adjoining Witley Court was faced with limestone by the Gloucester architect Samuel Daukes in the 1850s. The interior is one of the finest Italian Baroque churches in Britain originally from Cannons House at Edgware in Middlesex and fitted to Daukes's building by James Gibbs. It was completed in 1735.
It incorporates a richly gilded ceiling with a number of paintings by Antonio Bellucci, a funerary monument to Thomas Lord Foley and his family by John Michael Rysbrack and ten large painted glass windows by Joshua Price dated 1719-1721.
In 2014 the crypt was reopened to the public, on Saturdays and Sundays. On display is the restored Samuel Thorp clock. The clock was first commissioned by a later Baron Foley in 1804 and served the Court and the Church until 1877 until it was replaced by the present clock.'
