St Peter's, Radway - a photo on Flickriver

St Peter's, Radway

Radway stands at the foot of Edge Hill's northern slope with its church close to the former civil war battlefield. The present St Peter's church dates from 1866, built to the designs of Charles Buckeridge to replace a much more humble medieval building that formerly stood a short distance to the south. The Victorian church consists of chancel and nave, flanked by aisles, and a tower crowned by a broach spire at the west end, all constructed of the rich golden-brown Hornton stone which adds so much character to the villages in this area.

Within the church is somewhat dark and it may take a moment or two to adjust to the low lighting, all the surfaces being finished with the same coloured stonework. There are some notable monuments relocated here from the old church, most notably two damaged effigies, one a very low-relief effigy of a 15th century priest, the other a Royalist soldier killed at at the battle of Edge Hill, now sadly missing his feet and squeezed into a tight recess beneath the tower. There is an interesting mix of stained glass, with 17th century Flemish panels in the south aisle and some modern windows to the north.

Radway church is happily among the more visitor friendly churches of south Warwickshire that are normally open to visitors during the daytime.
