Notes about this historic site
1 The 19th century church replaced an ancient building, restored in 1839, which was no doubt that described c1640: ‘The chapel is buylded all of timber, being half-tymbered both the chancell and the church…. There are no armes or monuments.’ The chapel of Weethley, which was attached to the church of Kinwarton, was held by Ralph of Kinwarton, and was given to him by the Abbey of Evesham towards the close of the C12. The chapel is also recorded in 1413.
