The small parish of Whatcote featured in the Domesday Book and has a population size that has changed little in the intervening years. At its heart is St Peter’s Church, built in the first half of the 12th century. Whatcote also boasts the recently renovated and extremely popular Royal Oak Inn. Tradition also has it that it was a hiding place for King Charles during the Civil War. With its fine cuisine and great selection of changing ales this is a must for all guests.
