The history of St Patrick’s is, shall we say, colourful.

A rural gem hidden away in valley of pasture and woodland.

The church sits in a hollow amidst the rolling hills of the Wolds situated between Bigby and Grasby.

Designed by H and HW Inwood in a Gothic style, famously criticised by Pugin, and built between 1824 and 1827.

Early Perpendicular, Grade II listed church and birthplace of Alfred Lord Tennyson, the Victorian poet whose father George Clayton Tennyson was rector from 1806 until his death in 1831.

This fine Grade I listed rural church is larger than those in other local villages and was built in the 13th century.

This is an important Cherwell Valley church, built in the 13th and 14th centuries but embellished with battlements and pinnacles a century or so later.

Travellers could be forgiven for suddenly imagining themselves in the Rhine Valley when the extraordinary tower of this ancient church comes into view.

The church is over 100 years old.
