Warwickshire Delineated 1820

Bishop’s Tachbrook, a large, scattered, but retired village, is about three miles from Warwick and two from Leamington. The distinctive appellation of Bishop’s, is derived from the circumstance of this place having been in possession of the Bishops of Coventry and Lichfield at the Norman conquest.

The church at this place is a handsome ancient edifice, in the Saxon or early Norman style of architecture, and consists of a nave, two aisles, and a chancel. At the west end of the church is a square tower, and at its east end an ancient cross. The interior is very neatly fitted up, and in the chancel are three fine monuments, richly ornamented, erected to the memory of different branches of the Wagstaffe family. The church also contains many other monumental records.
