St Peter's, Witherley
Witherley's church of St Peter stands close to the outskirts of Atherstone but is separated from it by the Leicestershire border, that along here is also known as the A5! It is a striking landmark with it's elegant west tower and soaring, slender spire and is set in a pretty churchyard overshadowed by a row of trees by a river. The nave and north aisle are 14th century with a Victorian chancel, but we had little hope of getting inside at this late hour and the locked porch gates confirmed this. Oh well, another time.
The church appears to normally be kept locked, though a sign mentioned it being open for coffee mornings on Wednesdays.
