Cherington is a village and civil parish beside the River Stour about 3 miles (5 km) southeast of Shipston-on-Stour.

The Church of England parish church of Saint John the Baptist has many 13th-century features, including the Early English Gothic east windows of the chancel and north aisle, one of the south windows of the nave, the arcade of two bays between the nave and north aisle and the lower stages of the bell tower.

[3] The upper stages of the tower are 15th-century, as are the Perpendicular Gothic clerestory and present roof of the nave.

[2] The church tower had three bells until 1842 when one was recast, two more were added to make a ring of five and all were rehung.

[4] In 2006 John Taylor & Co recast one of the 1842 bells, cast another to increase the ring to six and rehung them all.
