HONILEY

This is a very small parish. The village lies seven miles north west of Warwick. The old Hall was demolished in 1820. The Georgian church is in the Baroque style. The original church was a place of pilgrimage, the pilgrims bathing in the nearby St.John's well before going to the church to pray for the forgiveness of their sins.
