Divine Inspiration

St Mary and Holy Cross, Alderminster

Shipston Road
Alderminster

Re- sited after sickness and starvation during the days of the Black Death, this church sits alongside what was an early horse-drawn tramway connecting Stratford-Upon–Avon and Moreton in Marsh. The churchyard that surrounds this pretty 12th century church is managed by Warwickshire Wildlife Trust and is a place of sanctuary for flowers, animals and wildlife. There is an interesting and informative display documenting this diversity in the porch. Walk around the side of the church and the path leads you to the river where a well-placed bench allows you to sit and enjoy the peaceful view over the River Stour. If you are lucky, you may even see some dragonflies!
