From the church website:-
As the parish church for the villages of Great Witley and Little Witley it is used regularly for services, concerts and other events.
In recent years, this church has become part of a larger United Benefice, 4Rivers Churches, which includes Knighton, Lindridge, Pensax, Stockton, Abberley, Great Witley, Little Witley, and Shrawley.
The church now displays a splendour which is unique amongst country churches in Britain. It has exquisite gilded decorations throughout, ceiling paintings by Antonio Bellucci, ten painted glass windows by Joshua Price depicting biblical scenes, splendid carved woodwork and a large monument by Michael Rysbrack.
There is an impressive organ and many musicians consider the church acoustics to be as fine as for any building of its size outside London.
