Slightly hard to spot from the road, this public path (via #33's drive) takes you Noth-East out of Coughton Hall grounds, towards Spernal.

Originally a medieval church, St Giles has been added to throughout the centuries. The nave and chancel are thought to date from the 13th century, the tower from the 14th century, the north aisle from the 17th century. Most recently, the south aisle was constructed in 1842, and the vestry in 1885.

Completed in 1836, Studley Castle is a Grade II listed building set in 28 acres of countryside in Warwickshire. Francis Lyttleton Holyoake, high sheriff of Warwickshire, commissioned knowned theatre architect Samuel Beazley to design the castle in Gothic Revival style.

Although, the noise of the traffic can be heard, it's a lovely view.

Studley Castle is a Grade II* listed building set in 28 acres of countryside in Warwickshire. The vision of Francis Lyttleton Holyoake, high sheriff of Warwickshire, it was completed in 1836. He had a £120,000 budget - an eye-watering £14.5m today - and enlisted Samuel Beazley, a renowned theatre architect, to design a castle in Gothic Revival style. For the next 70 years, Studley Castle served as an extraordinary family home. Ultimately, though, such decadent living became a price too high to pay and Francis was declared bankrupt. In 1903, Lady Warwick purchased the building and transformed it into the Studley Agricultural College for Women to provide horticultural training to daughters of the gentry. Requisitioned by the government, it became a training camp for the Women’s Land Army during the First and Second World Wars and remained a women’s-only college for the next 60 or so years. In 1969, the building gained its Grade II* listing, and after a time as offices and a conference centre, in 2006 it was converted again, this time into a country house hotel.

The precise date of the founding of the church is unknown, although local histories suggest either the beginning or latter part of the 13th Century. The first name on the list of incumbents dates from 1206 but there is a 75 year gap to the next. Bidford itself is considerably older, standing at the crossing of an ancient trade route over the Avon. Remains of a Roman bridge have been found and also an Anglo-Saxon graveyard. The building as it presently stands dates largely from 1835 when the old nave was pulled down and a new, wider one built by architect Joseph Lattimore of Stratford. Pevsner describes the interior of the nave, dating from this time, in these terms: "three bays of arcades or columns, or rather round piers, neither as strong in girth as to be Norman, nor as slender as Early English ones. The capitals look - but only at first sight - a little Early English, and the arches are round. Moreover the aisles have four windows each, and they are of three lights, straight-headed, and with the arched lights of Henry VIII. They are arranged exactly symmetrically with the centres of the three bay arches." The tower and the chancel are both medieval, with battlements added to the tower possibly at the time of the major rebuilding, and with Victorian work, dating from 1886-9, in the chancel. Stained glass, which is largely confined to the chancel and east corner of the south aisle, dates from the mid-19th century onwards. (Pevsner is very scathing - "terrible" - about a Belgian pair from 1885!). A new stained glass window in contemporary style and reflecting the theme of baptism was installed in the three light window above the south vestry in 2005 in memory of Fred Spiers. It can be seen when walking up the path to the church through the similar clear window above the north porch, especially when there is strong sun light. The wooden chancel screen is a memorial to those who died in the First World War. Other memorials of note are to Dorothy Skipwith (died 1653) and Woodchurch Clarke (died 1647) both of which are on the south wall of the chancel. Pevsner mentions without comment the Skipwith memorial. Both these are in need of restoration and conservation work which it is hoped will be completed soon. All pews were removed in the 1960s, and, apart from the old choir stalls in the chancel, all seating is now on chairs. Those in the centre of the nave, which are comfortably upholstered, have been given in memory of various people by their friends and families. There is a peal of eight bells in the tower, six dating from 1791 with two added in 1954. There is an enthusiastic and skilled band of ringers who practice on Tuesday nights. The clock dates from 1683 and was rebuilt in 1887. An automatic winding mechanism was installed in 2005.

A very rare early 18th century structure of hurdle and gorse walls and thatched roof. The Parish of Wixford has never been a separate living and so the horsehouse was constructed for the mounts of visiting clergy from neighbouring parishes such as Exhall.
