Completed in 1854, this Catholic Church dedicated to St. Joseph, was built in the Early English style by Pugin’s master builder George Myers.

The church contains many early stained glass works by John Hardman. Hardman was present at the church’s opening and sang with a part of the St Chad choir from Birmingham. Both the west window contain a crucifixion scenes, and has the Virgin Mary and St John the Evangelist in the lancets to the left and right. The east window window has a central figure of Christ, within a vesica piscis, who is sat on a rainbow that is above New Jerusalem. A number of Seraphim make up the ruby red background of the mandorla. On the left the Virgin Mary is holding a lily that symbolizes the Annunciation, and in the right window St Joseph is holding a flowering rod. In the Lady Chapel the two donor figures at the bottom of the lancet windows s are St. Aloysius Gonzaga, and St Helen. This window is dedicated to Thomas Aloysius Perry and his wife Helen (who was the niece of the church’s founder Joseph Knight.

THe nave windows are all dedicated to the donors, including the “Death of St Joseph” which is dedicated to the church Founder who died sixteen days after the church was opened in January 1855.

This is a small church built from Hornton stone, mostly 13th century the north arcade of three bays is Norman. The chancel has late 14th century windows.

The font is Norman with a wheat sheaf support which may be Anglo Saxon.

The bench ends of the stalls are decorated with Perpendicular style tracery carving.

The reredos behind the altar is made up from 17th century wood panels, of Flemish origin, depicting biblical scenes. The panels are in different styles and appear to have been collected from a number of sources.

Mostly built of red sandstone, this C14 church is in the decorated style, including the tower, nave and chancel. The remains of part of the north wall of the nave maybe C12 – C13.

Recently the old lead on the roof was discovered to have a number of inscribed footprints, numbered, initialed and dated 1782, and a old alphabet of 25 letters.

In the north wall of the chancel is a mid C14 effigy of a priest dressed in Mass vestment, with angels at his head, and a dog at his feet. Probably the rector at the time that the chancel was built.

The three light east window with cusped heads surmounted by trefoils. The stained glass in this window is by Burlison & Grylls the bottom left panel depicts St. Wilfred holding a model of the church.

The north west chancel window has fragments of early C14 glass figures, including that of a tonsured monk, and a lady.

Built of red sandstone and dates from the early C13. In consists of a chancel, nave, south aisle and double north aisle. The outer north aisle is probably mid to late C13.

The bell turret and spire that rises above the east wall of the nave is probably the reason for the chancel arches, which would have been needed to support the weight. The arches are actually three narrow arches and deep enough such that there are actually east and west arches. Inside the chancel arches there are remains of C14 or C15 paintings of flowers and rosettes.

There are a number of monuments including a large classical style wall monument of 1632 dedicated to Elen Campion, and others from the C18 to members of the Bromley family. There is also some early fragments of stained glass from the C15.

The main monument however is the Bagot brass of 1407. This is dedicated to William Bagot, one of Richard II’s councilors at the time of his disposition and abdication to Henry IV.
