You certainly don't see many black and white timber-framed churches around and this is a remarkable example in a picturesque setting. One of just 27 such churches in England, St Peter's stands on the banks of the River Severn in Melverley and is the oldest. Built at the beginning of the 15th century, it replaced an earlier church that burnt down.

Hi Kit, Visited this church on your recommendation, beautiful and peaceful. Thank you for creating the point of interest. It's actually on the River Vrynwy which joins the River Severn not far away just above Crew Green Bridge. Happy cycling!
