Church of St Peter and St Paul, Culworth
Highlight • Religious Site
Other features from the Decorated Gothic period include the windows of the south aisle and the east window of a room to the north of the chancel.
The East window of the chancel, the only complete stained glass window, and the four-bay arcades between the nave and the north and south aisles are from the early part of the Perpendicular Gothic period. The bell tower is also Perpendicular Gothic.
The pews are 18th century and are in raised tiers at the west end. Together with the stained glass window and the etched window in the tower (dedicated to those who served at the local wartime airfield), St Peter & St Paul’s makes a wonderful backdrop to any service, especially a wedding service.
The parish is now part of the Church of England benefice of Culworth with Sulgrave and Thorpe Mandeville and Chipping Warden with Edgcote and Moreton Pinkney.
