More about this scene

The Church of the Assumption of Our Lady has a lovely riverside setting, though this appealing bridge has been somewhat modernised with new timbers. The church register begins in 1733, considerably later than most Warwickshire parishes: it is said (though it may be apocryphal) that a parish clerk called Thomas Badhams cut up the earlier volumes to make pipe spills.
