Beautiful, but unusual Victorian rural church designed by John Croft.
Lower Shuckburgh, Warwickshire
Set in a village, which is owned by Shuckburgh Estate.
Lower Shuckburgh church stands towards the end of the village and was built to replace original church, destroyed by fire in 1860. John Croft, an architect from London, was hired to design and build our church, by Sir Frederick Shuckburgh. His son, Major George Shuckburgh, brought Moorish designs from the Crimean War back to England. It was completed in 1864. There were three bells originally but now only one remains. The interior design of the church is amazing, you have to see to understand how beautiful it is.
It’s unique Moorish architectural style attracts visitors and is a must to see and behold! Definitely worth a visit!
Willoughby, Warwickshire
A church that tells the history of architecture over the centuries, from the Normans to the Victorians, and a real live who done it as you walk round our lovely church situated in the middle of a beautiful churchyard.
Barby, Northamptonshire
The church dates from Saxon times and stands at the centre of the village as it has done for centuries.
Daventry, Northamptonshire
If All Saints Northampton is the county’s response to Wren’s London city churches, Holy Cross Daventry is that to Gibbs St Martin in the Fields.
