Situated in relatively low, undulating countryside, north west of the high, wooded scarp-face of Edge Hill, seven miles from Stratford-upon-Avon and east of the Cotswold Hills is the village of Pillerton Priors and one mile to the east, its sister village Pillerton Hersey.
Jointly known as The Pillertons, the villages share a Village Hall, located in Pillerton Priors, which is home for Parish Council Meetings, WI, Friends of St Mary's and many social and private events throughout the year.
The Church of St Mary the Virgin at Pillerton Hersey serves both parishes, as Pillerton Priors' Church of St Mary Magdalen was burnt down in 1666 - the same year as the "Great Fire of London".
Despite this tragedy the churchyard is still consecrated and in use, and a service is held there once a year, normally on the Sunday nearest St Mary Magdalen's Day, 22nd July.
