Biography

Lord Edward Spencer-Churchill (1853–1911) lent the weight of his Spencer-Churchill heritage to the quiet village of Blockley, taking practical care for the estate and ensuring the Church of St Peter and St Paul remained a centre for shared worship.

Even in retirement, he would be greeted by parishioners who remembered his thoughtful attendance at services and his efforts to keep the church a place of welcome.
