View to Whitchchurch church from near Whitchurch Farm, Alderminster church which is situated on the other side of the River Stour can be seen to the right. Whitchurch church is dedicated to St Mary and stands to the south of the River Stour, apart from an adjacent farm this is all that remains of the medieval village of Whitchurch which became depopulated and abandoned in the 15th and 16th centuries due to land clearances by the lord of the manor.
