St Chad's, Pattingham
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.
