James Tucker in Cov

Berkswell's a tiny little village between Birmingham and Coventry, and can only be got to by taking a local train and then walking about a mile and a half along some pleasant country lanes. Or you could bike from Coventry, which would take well under an hour. Outside of Berkswell is Ram Hall, an old manor farm with an interesting chimney and a sideline in making sheep's cheese.
The village itself has one shop/postoffice/tea shop, one pub, and a church. About half the houses are hundreds of years old, and there is a farm on the main street, with cows staring at the pub diners across the road. The village green has a set of stocks with five leg-holes, supposedly built for the most regular offenders, who were a one-legged soldier and his two drinking companions.

The church really is the highlight of Berkswell, though. Built next to the eponymous well, which may have been used for baptisms, it was mainly built in the Norman period, though the very odd octagonal vault under the chancel apparently might indicate Saxon origins. In any case, it's had a long history of renovation and addition, with some windows and a tower from the Gothic period, a late-medieval gallery one one side, and a two-story porch outside the Norman door. The arches on one side are Gothic and on the other, Norman.
