Plough Sunday celebration, with prayers for the blessing of the land.
Plough Sunday Church Services traditionally mark the start of the agricultural year. Plough Sunday is a tradition that goes back to medieval times when the communal village plough was often stored in the parish church over winter months. In January, usually after Epiphany, farmers would gather in church to bring the plough out of hibernation. The farming year would begin with a special blessing of the plough and the ploughmen in church.

Brinklow - St. John the Baptist

Our Grade 2 medieval church is set in the heart of the conservation area of the village of Brinklow, near Rugby, Warwickshire. It is open every day and visitors are always very welcome. Brinklow is situated on the Roman road, the Fosse Way. The church is built on the side of the Tump, an early motte and bailey castle, and unusually the chancel and nave floors slope from east to west. We are one of 6 parishes in the Revel benefice - the others being Churchover, Harborough Magna with Easenhall, Monks Kirby with Pailton & Stretton under Fosse and Willey.
