Judas Repents
Detail of the east window at Pattingham, designed by Powell's / Whitefriars (presumably to the designs of James Hogan, or possibly E.Liddal Armitage) and installed in 1948.
It presumably replaces a late Victorian window that had suffered severe paint loss (a dedicatory plate for which survives, and the rest of the chancel windows contain badly worn glass by Burlison & Grylls from the same time).
St Chad's at Pattingham dates back to the 12th century (as witnessed by the two bay north arcade) but was mostly rebuilt in the following centuries and owes much of its present appearance to a thorough makeover by G.G.Scott who added the commanding spire to the ancient tower.
The nave is uncommonly short and wide for a church of this size, with an extra aisle on the north side (another Victorian addition). There are many windows by Burlison & Grylls (much of it suffering serious paint-loss), a couple more by Kempe and some fetching postwar glass by Powell's in the east lancets.
The church is usually kept open and welcoming to visitors.
