AbberleyBeside 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.
