Welcome to the website for
Great Witley Church or
The Church of St Michael and All Angels as it is more properly known.  

This marvellous church and five others form the unified benefice of Astley, Abberley, Shrawley and The Witleys in rural Worcestershire.

We welcome your views and comments and invite you to share in our fellowship and praise.

 

 I hope you will find the following pages interesting and informative and if you have not already visited us, you have a treat in store.  The interior of the church is spectacular and historically fascinating and attracts visitors from all over the world, but our primary purpose remains the ministry of the Word, not only in our parish but also in the wider community and for all who have not yet received the good news of Jesus Christ.

Britain's finest Baroque Church.  St. Michael and All Angels Church, Great Witley,  A443 Worcester - Tenbury Wells road, 10 miles north-west of Worcester.    As the parish church for the villages of Great Witley and Little Witley  it is used regularly for services and concerts. The church is open to visitors daily. The church, now almost fully restored, displays a splendour which is unique amongst country churches in Britain, with exquisite gilded decorations throughout, numerous paintings by Antonio Bellucci, ten painted glass windows depicting scenes from the New Testament, highly decorative carving and a large monument by Rysbrack. It also has a fine organ, its case being from the instrument on which Handel played.   Many musicians consider its acoustics for music to be as fine as any building of its size outside London
