An amazing mixture of rustic architectural styles, St. Lawrence's has much to interest the visitor. Parts appear to be 17th Century, but are likely to be later - fashion appears to have moved slowly in this part of Staffordshire. A West gallery is a wonderful reminder of the church music composer, Uriah Davenport.

All Saints, Leek

A wonderful example of the work of Norman Shaw, built in the final quarter of the 19th century. The building deserves its Grade 1 listing, because it is designed as a piece and shows Shaw bringing together periods of ecclesiastical architecture in a pleasing way which is not pastiche. Glass from the factory of William Morris and Co.

St. John the Baptist, Wetley Rocks

The nave and the remainder, with the exception of the chancel, were designed by James Trubshaw, a member of the dynasty of local masons and architects. The chancel was added in 1901, the architect being J Beardmore.

St. John the Evangelist, Knypersley

Another example of 19th century church architecture. This time the church, school and vicarage were both designed by the same architect, R C Hussey. The cost of providing these was paid by John Bateman of nearby Biddulph Grange. 

St. Luke, Leek

Another mid 19 century church. It has a pleasant nave and makes a good setting for concerts. The work is mainly in Decorated style. A sympathetic re-ordering has added facilities so that the church is able to serve the local community in a variety of ways.

St. Philip and St. James, Milton

A small church, which was built in the 1860s. The church is built on land given for the purpose by Lord Norton. The church of St. Philip and St. James is a fine example of a gift to by a local landowner which continues to serve the community.

St. Matthew, Meerbrook

Although the building dates back to the 16 th century most of what you see is by Norman Shaw. The style is more derivative than at All Saints Leek, and echoes of the hands of other 19th century church design are felt. The work of a local sculptor Edward Ash may be seen on the font, pulpit and reredos. .
