There is a splendid perpendicular west tower.

St. Chad, Stafford

Sometimes described as Stafford's secret architectural gem, the interior of St. Chad's contained fine examples of Romanesque work. Particularly fine is the Chancel arch with carvings
drawn for the mythical nature.

St. Chad, Slindon
|
|
|
 |

A late Victorian church designed and furnished all as a piece. A wonderful example of refined taste from Basil Champneys, the church combines an in depth knowledge of the Gothic with
personal idiosyncrasies. A treasure of its type.

A church with a long history which was restored in the nineteenth century. Some Norman features remain. These are best seen on the south side. The church possesses an
