St Peter & St Paul's church - Long Compton, Warwickshire - Anglican and Episcopal Churches on Waymarking.com

"St Peter and St Paul is a local landmark, standing at the centre of this Cotswold village, often photographed by passing tourists. Dating from the 13th century, the church is a light and welcoming place. It is open to visitors every day in daylight hours, to admire the architecture and dwell on its history, or to spend some quiet time in prayer or reflection

The exterior is well known for its lych-gate, which passes under an old thatched cottage. The path up to the church door is flanked by yew balls and a grassy, stone walled churchyard. Inside, Long Compton church is a well-tended mix of ancient and modern. It was extensively restored in Victorian times, but its mediaeval character remains in its handsome proportions and attractive stonework. The whitewashed walls and clear glass in most of the windows give the church a light and airy feel.

The west of the church was altered in 2004 to provide two glass-fronted meeting rooms and a balcony, as well as kitchen facilities. This means that the church can be used more flexibly: for children's groups during some services, for meetings and break-out groups, and as a venue for concerts and other community events."
