Cafe opposite side to the Lock pub

There is a very convenient bench at the side of the road. Good spot for a breather and some refreshment.

Great coffee and local food

Very uneven tunnel roof. Quite low in places so worth slowing down a little especially if someone pops around the corner at the other end.

The chapel retains in use the mediaeval stone altar slab with the five incised crosses which had been used as a tombstone from 1710 until 1878. Preserved in a glass fronted case is the most precious treasure of the church, an embroidered altar frontal of c1470; it is 8ft. 4 ins. Long and 2ft. 8Ins. Wide and was discovered in an old chest c1865. It is divided into alternate vertical stripe of cerise and cream silk; in the centre is a seated figure of Abraham holding three small figures in his lap symbolising the souls of the departed, while around are three angels bearing scrolls with “Da gloriam Deo” and on either side are fleurs-de-lys and other flowers. In the east clerestory window on the south are remains of fifteenth century painted glass depicting the Annunciation, St. Anthony and a Bishop. In the west window of the tower are three roundels of old painted glass, probably of foreign provenance, depicting the Chalice and Host, the Crucifixion and another scene; they are said to have come from Coton Chapel. The east window and those of the chapel contain painted glass by C E Kempe, the designer of the chapel reredos. The most interesting memorial is a figure brass to John Grove (1616) of Pool Hall, a London merchant and Freeman of the Grocers Company, who was a native of Alveley and founded a school here, also giving an endowment to provide £10 yearly to be divided among five old men. Note in the churchyard the base and part of the shaft of the mediaeval preaching cross. Bells. The tower contains a peal of six bells which were cast and hung by Rudhalls, the Gloucester Bellfounders, in 1779; They were restored and rehung by Taylors of Loughborough in 1958. Plate. The plate includes a handsome Elixabethan cup with cover paten dated 1572 and bearing the intitials R D for Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, at that time owner of the Church Lordship and Patron of the living, doubtless the gift of his Royal Mistress, Queen Elizabeth I.
