Dist:0.2km<br/>Built of Cotswold limestone like most of the old buildings round here. The road down which the car is going is a dead end to Moreton Valence church.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The road is signpost to Standish and Haresfield, with Green Lane on the left, a no through road, giving access to a farm.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Note the elimination of the "hard shoulder" emergency lane where the M5 bridges a small watercourse. At one time, it was proposed to build an additional motorway service area (Moreton Valence services) just ahead of this location to split the long gap between Michaelwood and Strensham servcies. Although that plan never came to fruition, in August 2010 planning permission was given for a new service area at Brookthorpe, near Gloucester.

Dist:0.6km<br/>Moreton Valance church framed by the arch above the entrance gate. The church is dedicated to St Stephen. Pevsner informs that the church was given to the Bishop of Hereford Cathedral around 1150 by Roger Little, Earl of Hereford. I assume the church is now in the Diocese of Gloucester. The nave and chancel date from the 12th century and the tower from the 15th century.
