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.
