Baxterley Church

This small grade II listed parish church is of square plan.

The base of the small tower was built around 1540 but the top section is early 17th century.

[1] Hugh Latimer, Bishop of Oxford, preached a sermon at Baxterley Church on Christmas Day 1552.

[4] A 13th century wooden crozier head was found embedded in the wall in 1958; it is the oldest piece of church equipment in Warwickshire.

[5] The Church, surrounded by small farms, is situated around 1.7 miles (2.7 km) from the village; when the church was built Baxterley was the nearest settlement but since the construction of Wood End in 1890, which is 1.2 miles (2 km) away, this has become the nearest settlement.
