Church of St Mary and St Radegund, Whitwell

[1] The Church of St. Mary and St. Radegund in Whitwell is located on rising ground at the South end of the village and adjoins the rectory.

[2] The bells and clock were installed after the death of William Spindler who passed them on to the church, and is now buried in its graveyard.

[4] On Monday 16 April 2007 Whitwell's Post Office re-opened inside the church's bell tower.

[5] After the Post Office's relocation into the church proved a success, the island's Rural Community Council (RRC) stated they would like to see the model applied elsewhere where village amenities were under threat.

[6] Although the post office was also hoped to boost attendance numbers at Sunday church services, this did not happen, with average congregation size remaining at only 23.
