Rowington

[2] The Grand Union Canal runs just south of the village and the M40 motorway is also close by.

The parish church of St. Laurence which dates from medieval times is found on a hill in the centre of the village.

In the Tudor era Rowington manor was owned by Queen Catherine Parr.

[5] There were once several windmills in the village but only one remains and its sails have been removed and the building converted into a house.

At one time Rowington quarries supplied sandstone for several important buildings including St Philip's Cathedral in Birmingham, the parish church of St. Laurence and nearby Baddesley Clinton manor house.
