Lower Shuckburgh is a lovely little village just of the Oxford Canal in rural Warwickshire. Its biggest attraction is the Church of Saint John the Baptist and its gothic stylings. Built in 1864, the church is now Grade II-listed. Particularly poignant is the 15-foot (5 m) war memorial, built in 1921 of Hornton stone.
