Radford Semele, Warwickshire England UK

Church of England (Anglican)

This 14th century church was substantially rebuilt in 1889. The village of Radford Semele is nearly a part of Leamington Spa today. The church was destroyed by fire in the early hours of Palm Sunday 2008, though the tower was able to be saved. The church reopened in May 2013.
