The western boundary is formed by a stream running out of Edstone Lake; it would seem that the land, now part of Edstone in Wootton Wawen, between the stream where it flows west from the lake and the road running east from Bearley Cross, was originally included in Bearley.

[2] Upon the Dissolution of the Monasteries it came to Clement Throckmorton who later sold it William Walter who passed it to Mr Fanshaw.

[6] Bearley is part of the Wootton Wawen ward of Stratford-on-Avon District Council and represented by Councillor Ian Shenton, Conservative Party.

[7] Nationally it is part of Stratford-on-Avon parliamentary constituency, whose current Member of Parliament following the 2024 general election is Manuela Perteghella of the Liberal Democrat Party.

[9] There is limited local employment: light industry, retail, a nursing home, agriculture and livestock farming.

The chancel walls are 2 ft 3 in (0.69 m) thick, built of blue lias rubble, mostly squared in the lower parts and with sandstone angle-dressings.

The nave has side walls 2 ft 9 in (0.84 m) thick; the lower halves of them are of early shaly rubble with wide jointing, and above this are medieval sandstone courses.

In the north wall are the remains of a 12th-century doorway of sandstone, now blocked: it has jambs of two orders, the inner with an edge-roll; the outer is square and had nook-shafts, which have disappeared except for the western capital; this is of cushion form with chevron ornament.

In the south wall is another blocked doorway with square pilaster-jambs and pointed head, perhaps of the 13th century but difficult to date.

Snitterfield bushes, a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) managed by the Warwickshire Wildlife Trust, lies 1.2 miles (2 km) east of Bearley.
