St Mary’s Church, Wimpstone

The church by the River Stour is all that remains of the village of Whitchurch and to find it you have to use a field footpath which originates from a lane SE of the hamlet of Wimpstone. At the west end of the nave, high above the south door, is a vertical south dial which was painted on the masonry. Little is visible now except the remains of a blue border and some fragmentary hour lines, and a strip gnomon with supporter. Arthur Mee (The King’s England - Warwickshire) gives the date as 1646.
