1. Great Witley Parish Church

The Great Witley Church is the U.K.’s finest baroque church. It is absolutely beautiful. The ceiling was painted by Antonio Bellucci. There are three main pictures, The Ascension, The Decent from the Cross, and The Nativity. Surrounding the three main paintings, are ten smaller paintings of cherubs. There is a mirror placed in the aisle for a better view of all the details of the ceiling. You can’t image how spectacular it is inside from what you see on the outside. It is an active church that holds regular services, concerts, and various other events. If you are in the area it is a fantastic place to go, the Witley Court is right next to the Great Witley Church, the crypt below was open when we visited (that is also worth checking out), and there is a wonderful tea room within walking distance.

My wife and I visited Droitwich Spa in March 2018. Before our departure from home we had searched for Tourist Attractions on the Internet and came across this Church with its magnificent Mosaics. If we had not undertaken the research we would most likely have looked at the Exterior of the Church and most likely would have given it no second glance. After we had parked our Car at the back of the Church we went inside and although we could make out the Mosaics in the semi-dark there magnificance did not become apparent. However, once we put the £1 coin into the meter for the lights to come on it was possible for us to fully admire the incredibly beautiful Mosaics. What a Gem!! My wife and I have been privileged to have seen many cathedrals and churches in different parts of the World and we can honestly say that the Interior of this Church compares favourably to any we have seen. Anyone travelling to Droitwich Spa should not leave this town until having visited the Church of the Sacred Heart and Saint Catherine of Alexandria. An absolute must!!!

7. Pershore Abbey
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 103 reviews
For over 1300 years Pershore Abbey has been a centre for Christian worship and life, from its early beginnings as a Saxon monastery to today, as people of all ages still gather to pray, share their spiritual journey and mark significant life events in this place. Pershore Abbey celebrates its Benedictine heritage particularly through its welcome of visitors and pilgrims. We hope your visit to the Abbey will be both rewarding and memorable. One of the finest example of Norman and Early English architecture in the country, Pershore Abbey is very much a broken building: Henry VIII destroyed the nave at the time of the dissolution of the monasteries; the north transept collapsed in the middle 1600s. But, in spite of its brokenness, the Abbey symbolises a place where, through the love of Christ, a community can become whole.

9. St Lawrence's Church
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 52 reviews
St Lawrence’s is full of activities for the whole family, taking you on a journey of historical discovery. Let your curiosity lead you to open boxes of treasures, wear a bishop’s mitre, peek around corners, try out the pulpit and summon ethereal music. Nestled in the heart of Evesham’s historic centre, St Lawrence’s Church is part of a triptych of stunning architectural buildings, alongside the parish church of All Saints and the great perpendicular bell tower of the abbey. The church - of Norman foundation but largely rebuilt in the 18th century - is imposing from the outside, displaying a great six-light window with elaborate tracery. Once you step inside the true extent of detailed craftwork is revealed. Coloured light reflects throughout the chancel from the breath-taking stained glass windows that dominate the east wall. Depicting the last supper and the resurrection, they were designed by some of the most celebrated stained glass artists of the last 150 years. Discover the intricately patterned fan vaulted ceiling of the 16th-century chapel of St Clement. This beautiful space has richly panelled arches and houses a simple and elegant 15th-century font. Tours available.

Located in town, near the Bell tower and Abbey park. This historical church is no longer used. It does have some amazingly beautiful stained glass windows.
