[2] William Camden went further and quoted the legend that Offa's son, Fremund, 'a man of great renown', had been murdered and "buried at his Father's Palace, now called Offchurch",[3] the church being built to commemorate his death.

He died in March of the same year, aged only 49, from a heart-attack, whilst out hunting beside two of his sons with the Warwickshire Foxhounds, at Upper Quinton, close to his new mansion.

The manor was then purchased by Harry Johnson, a textile manufacturer from Coventry and Macclesfield, whose descendants today retain much of the estate in 2011 and live at Offchurch Bury.

It consists of chancel with north vestry, nave with south porch, and west tower, and is built of the local red sandstone.

[9] The trackbed of the former Leamington to Rugby line, the Grand Union Canal and a network of footpaths make Offchurch a focus for walks in this part of rural Warwickshire.
