Geocache Description:


The Church of St Michael and All Angels, Wartnaby.

This grade II* ironstone church with double bellcote has stood on this site since the 1190 but has gone through a number of alterations in its lifetime. The Church was drastically restored 1867-8 and 1948-50 by W Gillett. The church was described as ‘Impressive and important’ in Pevsner’s The Buildings of England.

The most notable element of the church are the medieval wall paintings found on the arches of the south arcade. Although the dating of the paintings is difficult, it is thought that they may date from the very early days of the church making them almost 800 years old.  

Two 15thC wooden benches sit in the church, an unusual provision given that the congregation at the time of their construction were expected to stand throughout the service.

The organ in the church was installed in 1993 but actually originates from Hoton near Loughborough and when the church was declared redundant it was moved and installed into Wartnaby. The two bells date from 1731 and 1857, the latter being manufactured by the Taylor foundry in Loughborough.
