Alcester

Alcester is a market community and civil parish of Roman origin at the junction of the River Alne and also River Arrowhead in Warwickshire, England, roughly 8 miles (13 kilometres) west of Stratford-upon-Avon, and 8 miles south of Redditch, close to the Worcestershire boundary. The 2011 census recorded a population of 6,273. Today the community features architecture from the Medieval, Tudor, Georgian, Victorian and also 20th century. The earliest residence appears to be The Old Malthouse at the corner of Church Road and also Malt Mill Lane, which most likely dates from about 1500. The clock on St Nicholas Church (Grade 2 *) remains in an uncommon placement on the south-west edge of the 14th-century tower, making it noticeable from the High Street. The church also houses the burial place of Fulke Greville, grandpa of Fulke Greville, 1st Baron Brooke. The church's Georgian nave with Doric columns and also plastered ceiling is believed to have actually been created by Francis Smith of Warwick, manager of its rebuild by Woodward bros of Chipping Camden in 1729.
