Beautiful 13th century church open in Hillmorton Rugby
St John the Baptist, The Locks, Hillmorton, Rugby, Warwickshire, CV21 4PP
Our church has been part of the community for seven centuries, serving Hillmorton, which is part of Rugby. It is bounded by the main West Coast rail line, the Oxford Canal (known as the Church by the Locks) and the old Rugby Radio Station site, now being developed as a major housing estate.
The church contains artefacts from the centuries, including some interesting tombs and memorials. This is a working church supported by an active congregation. Surrounded by a large churchyard, it offers space for quiet reflection and picnics. The church will be manned - it is accessible throughout the year - offering light refreshments and a warm welcome. The church is accessible from the car park up an incline or even by the canal itself. Bring a picnic. Dogs welcome.
