Wishaw Homepage


A lovely, peaceful spot. Wishaw is quite an extensive parish but the church is stuck all on its own on a quiet lane.

Dist:0.1km<br/>This pool is called Church Pit according to the map. I wonder if it is simply due to its proximity to the church - or perhaps the stone for the church was quarried from here. It has been suggested this may be a marl pit.

Dist:0.2km<br/>A rather nice octagonal seat beneath an ancient yew in the churchyard of St.Chad's, Wishaw. Note the quite unusual circular window in the side of the porch of the church.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Quite a mixture of styles make up this little church in Wishaw dating originally from the C13th. Considering its proximity to Birmingham, this is a very rural setting. In late 2008 a rare hand-painted version of the Lord's Prayer was uncovered when a memorial to a landowner who died in 1663 was moved as it had become unsafe. The prayer painting was discovered underneath, and it is thought that it dates from perhaps 150 years earlier - from the reign of King Henry VIII. The news story can be viewed here http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/coventry_warwickshire/7740862.stm - thanks to Peter Cutler for bringing my attention to this story. You will see that this photo is an almost identical view to [[[23645]]] - but the different seasons light the stone quite differently.

Dist:0.2km<br/>In a leafy country lane ('The Gravel') and a very tranquil setting, despite its proximity (less than 1 mile) from M6 toll road.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Some company whilst walking the right of way from Ryefield Lane towards The Gravel. The path continues then to Grove Lane

Dist:0.5km<br/>Over Green plantation in the fields ahead, and the long shadows of an autumnal afternoon. On the horizon beyond is Grove End. Ryefield Lane is in the foreground.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Steps, footpath and right of way across M6 Toll Road, close to The Belfry Golf Course. From road names, it appears the road off left of photo ('The Gravel') once continued northerly in direction of right of way, since a short road of the same name is across the other side of the toll road.

Dist:0.5km<br/>By following the FP sign in the car park at Cock Inn, Over Green [[[2270417]]]. The footpath follows east around the field to Church Lane and Wishaw village.

Dist:0.6km<br/>North of Wishaw, a footbridge enables a right of way to cross the M6 Toll Road. Pedestrians are able to reach the main entrance of The Belfry Golf Course from here.
