Abberley
Beside the rectory of this attractive town stand the ruins of a
Norman church, built upon an even older Saxon foundation. The more
modern 19th century church is graced with a 160 foot high clock
tower.
To the south are the Abberley Hills, including Woodbury Hill, with
an ancient hill fort on its summit.
Just outside Abberley is Stockton, home of the Queen Anne mansion,
The Elms, built by Gilbert White, a pupil of Christopher Wren. The
Elms is now a hotel.
