St Alkmund's Church, Grade I listed church building in Whitchurch Urban, England

St Alkmund's Church features a neoclassical design with a four-stage tower, constructed from pinkish Grinshill sandstone and topped with a lead roof.

The church's central tower collapsed in 1711, leading to a complete reconstruction that was completed and consecrated on October 8, 1712.

The interior contains medieval glass fragments in the north aisle, while the apse windows present the Ascension with images of St Peter and St Paul.

The church remains open daily from 10 AM to 5 PM, providing facilities for walkers and cyclists, with accessible parking available nearby.

The building houses a clock mechanism crafted by JB Joyce of Whitchurch in 1849 and eight bells, seven cast by Rudhall of Gloucester.
