Parish Church of All Saints Leamington Hastings

The Church of All Saints sits quietly in Leamington Hastings, a village about five miles south of Rugby, and it's one of those places that rewards a detour if you're into medieval architecture. The church itself dates back to the 12th century, though it's been rebuilt and altered plenty of times since - that's how these things go. You'll find proper perpendicular Gothic work here, particularly in the windows, and the interior has some decent woodwork worth a closer look.

It's the sort of place that appeals most to architecture enthusiasts and anyone tracing local history. If you're doing a holiday at one of the nearby parks - Lairhillock is barely two miles away, or Eriba Glade Touring Caravan Park just under three - you could easily walk or drive over for an hour's poke around. Don't expect crowds or visitor facilities. This is a working parish church, so access can depend on who's about and what services are on.

Give yourself forty minutes here if you're really going to look at the details, less if you're just passing through. The churchyard itself is pleasant enough for a wander, and you might find some interesting graves if you're that way inclined. It's free to visit, assuming the door's unlocked when you arrive - that's the reality of village churches. Worth the trip if you're already in the area exploring Warwickshire's quieter corners, but I wouldn't make it your sole reason to book a caravan holiday nearby.
