St Michael’s Church, Little Witley Although there has been a church from the 13th Century, the present building dates from 1867 when it was re-built in the ‘Early English’ style by Abraham Edward Perkins, Worcester’s church architect. The new nave walls were built on the lower red sandstone courses of the old church but the footprint was extended with the addition of an apsidal east end and vestry.

The former Rose & Crown (1), at Shrawley, Worcs This former public house closed over a year ago and permission has now been given to convert it into private residential accommodation. It used to be a Marston's house and the building itself is Grade II listed. It dates from the early 19th century with parts dating from the 20th century. It started life as a house, then became licensed premises and will shortly revert to residential use, so it has in effect come full circle. A sad loss to local amenities, but fortunately the village still has the New Inn and nearby is the Lenchford Inn.
