The ancient grounds of the old St Werburgh's Church in Warburton were transformed into a film set for new folk horror, A Caution for The Wise.

And the 13th century church, based on Wigsey Lane, has since been described as a ‘one in a million’ film location by film producer, Gaius Brown.

Filming from both within the grounds of the old church and inside the Grade I listed building can be seen in the new short film which was released earlier this month and is currently circulating film festivals across the country.

...

The short is loosely based on a chapter from the hit 2013 novel 'Skendleby', written by Nick Brown and also based in leafy Cheshire, in the affluent area of Alderley Edge.

While the old St Werburgh's Church was used as the set for the parish church in the film, other areas of Cheshire were also used during the filming of the horror, including the picturesque grade II listed Hawthorn Cottage located on Twemlow Lane in Cranage.
