St Andrew's Church, Wroxeter

The stone structure features a nave, south porch, chancel, south vestry, and west tower, incorporating substantial Roman materials in its walls.

The church site dates back to the 8th century, with the oldest existing elements using stones from public buildings of the Roman town Viroconium.

The interior contains decorated alabaster tomb-chests with effigies of Thomas Bromley, Justice of the Queen's Bench, and detailed Georgian box pews.

The church maintains daily opening hours from 10 AM to 4 PM, with roadside parking and a grass path leading through the churchyard.

The church font consists of an inverted Roman column capital that has been transformed into a baptismal bowl through careful hollowing.
