About Us

St John the Baptist Wasperton church is on an ancient settlement dating from the 4th century, having Roman, British, Anglo Saxon, Pagan and Christian influences with a rich cultural and architectural heritage.

Wasperton, named in the Domesday book, has had a population of between 90 and 292 consistently over the period - relatively unaltered since the village map was produced in 1686, the church being on site since 1279 with the current building constructed in 1822.

It was commissioned and paid for by Thomas Leveson Lane for £3000 to plans by Sir George Gilbert Scott and Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin - a rare example of such collaboration.

The Bell turret over the nave contains two bells, one founded by Henry Bagley cast in 1683 and the other founded by Thomas Mears dated 1817.

The Church, Churchyard and PCC are actively supported by a small band of volunteers,making this a true community church.
