Churches (169) : St Andrew, Wilmcote

The parish church of St Andrew in Wilmcote, Warwickshire was built between 1840-42. Until 2004 it was part of the parish of Aston Cantlow though it is now a separate parish. No church existed in Wilmcote when St Andrew was built though a chapel is known to have existed in the 13th century at least. The church was built by the Anglo-Catholic Oxford Movement.

The church is in the Early English style with an aisled 4 bay nave and and a 2-bay chancel with a north vestry. The church is built from regular coursed lias with limestone ashlar dressings.
