St Alkmund's Church Tower Tour

St Alkmund's is the parish church of Whitchurch and is a Grade I listed building. This is an opportunity to mount the many steps to the top of the church tower, exploring each floor as you go. The climb will take you past the ringing room and allow a view of the clock mechanism. Continue past the church bells before reaching the roof. The top of the tower affords a magnificent view of the surrounding countryside and diagrams identify major landmarks.
