    A truly gorgeous church and churchyard, latter dominated by one of the finest Giant Redwoods in the…read morecountry. The church itself is in Decorated style, made very interesting by the single arcade within, separating the have from the north aisle (the latter having a much larger window than the chancel proper. The glass is nearly all 19th/20th century, mostly dedicated to the Muntz family, the local landowners, which provides a lovely history of the family. The churchyard is a wonderfully restful place; despite the grave of some pop person being there, it has been treated with great respect. Overall, a fine building and well worth visiting.

I have been to this place twice and I probably will make it an "every year trip", as a way of celebrate and pay respect to this brilliant singer and songwriter. I had no idea that Tanworth-in-Arden was so nearby where I live and you probably would be surprised to know it's a Birmingham post code area. The Churchyard is a wonderful English heritage hidden in the middle of this gorgeous village where the musician spent part of his life. Nick Drake's gravestone is next to a big tree, where were also buried his parents. From this point you have a wonderful view from the countryside fields and the church of St. Mary Magdalene itself. It's impossible to explain who the entire atmosphere is really peaceful any time you visit this beautiful place. You can visit Tanworth-in-Arden village and St. Mary Magdalene church by car leaving at the Junction 3 at M42, if you are coming from Birmingham, and the nearest train stations to get there are Wood End and Danzey stations.
