Alvechurch
Anglican: St Laurence
A large church, Alvechurch was the site of a Bishop’s Palace in medieval times. Parts of the medieval church remain, including the 15th century west tower, but the overall impression is of the building created by William Butterfield in his restoration and rebuilding of 1860.
