Description:A view of the Trent and Mersey Canal at Colwich, looking south-east towards Colwich Lock.

Towards the left is the tower of St. Micahel and All Angels Church and in between the church and the canal is Church Farm with its outbuildings and thatched hay ricks.

St. Michael and All Angels was built on the site of an Anglo-Saxon church. The present church was built in the late fourteenth century, but was altered and restored between 1852 and 1856.

Inside the church are monuments to the Anson and Wolseley families. The east window of the church is a memorial to Thomas, first Earl of Lichfield (1795 - 1854).
