Regarded as Britain's finest Baroque church, The Church of St Michael & All Saints is both the family Church of the Foley's (Baron Thomas of Kiddderminster) who built the Church and also is the Parish Church of Great Witley and is located adjacent to the, now derelict, Foley family home Witley Court.
From the (
visit link) website :-"The spectacular and richly decorated Baroque church at Great Witley, survived the catastrophic fire which destroyed the adjacent Witley Court in 1937. The magnificent scheme of windows by Joshua Price and later his son, William Price the Younger, dating from around 1719, were purchased from Canons: the London mansion of the Duke of Chandos, along with the ceiling paintings, in 1748. The Great Witley windows are a nationally important example of the enamelled glass tradition of the 18th century.".
