Wormleighton is a peaceful spot, well off the beaten track in the ironstone belt of south-east Warwickshire. The main approach through the village takes one past the attractive gateway to the manor house (whose tower might deceive the unsuspecting into thinking it is the church at first glance!) and then the church is located further up the narrow lane on high ground that overlooks it. St Peter's is a delightfully rustic building dating back to the early 13th century with a solid square west tower and an aisled nave and chancel with 14th century modifications and a modest 15th century clerestory.
Inside there is a feeling of antiquity with the sturdy ironstone Transitional nave arcades and a sense of lightness from the rendered walls and largely clear glazing. There are several features of interest here but the most significant one is the wonderful early 16th century chancel screen carved with rich traceried panelling and a few carved crowned heads. Such an impressive surviving medieval rood screen is a rarity in Warwickshire and this is of particularly fine quality (its impact however is slightly diminished by the red curtains partially obscuring it, but then we can't begrudge the congregation wanting to stay warm!).
This is a lovely church well worth seeking out, normally kept open I believe though this was the first time I'd had a proper look inside (on a previous visit many years ago we arrived just in time for a service to start so couldn't do more than look through the door!). A tranquil spot with much of antiquity to reward the visitor.
