St Peter's Church Wolfhampcote open day
Heritage Open Day: St Peter's Church is a historic medieval church standing in an isolated position in the civil parish of Wolfhampcote, Warwickshire. Since 1960 the
church and its attached mausoleum has been designated as Grade II* listed building. This stunning 14th century church is the sole survivor of the lost village of Wolfhampcote, which lies buried to the north. It's tough exterior of crooked windows, stout buttresses and multi-coloured patchwork stone conceals an orderly and serene interior. Limewashed walls scatter light from huge windows on the church’s treasures including a beautifully carved fourteenth-century screen, a Queen Anne Royal Arms, a Victorian Hood mausoleum and a collection of oak benches dating between 1330 and 1360, one with unique end carvings. The beamed roof of the chancel is a rustic marvel to behold.
It is now under the car of the Churches Conservation Trust and the Friends Group run many events to keep this church used by the community.
