Great Witley Church, Worcestershire, England, reflected in the "mirror table" positioned to let visitors look at the decorated ceiling, without straining their necks !
Most people think their parish church is special, but the parishioners at Great Witley Church in Worcestershire have more reason than most to think so.
The small church looks quite modest from the outside, but once you step through the doorway you find yourself in the midst of a stunning work of art.
The church uses Italian Baroque architecture and is filled with arguably the world's best collection of paintings by Antonio Bellucci, which decorate the recently restored ceiling.
The building also contains beautiful painted plaster details, the first known examples of papier mache, ten painted glass windows depicting scenes from the New Testament, highly decorative carving, and a large monument by Rysbrack.
