St. Michael and All Angels Church (Whitwell)

St. Michael and All Angels is the parish church of the little Rutland vilage of Whitwell.

There is long and short work at a corner of the nave, which would normally indicate an Anglo-Saxon foundation.

The bellcote dates from the 13th century, and so does the doorway, with its round arch.

Many old churches have a piscina, but St. Michael's has no less than four.

The font is probably Anglo-Saxon, while the pulpit and altar rail date from the 17th century.

The "white well" which gives the village its name issues from beneath the church.
