St Mary's, Stottesdon, in the Stottesdon Group of Churches
St Mary's is a surprisingly big church for quite a small village, and reflects the history of Stottesdon as being the centre of the Mediaeval Stottesdon Hundred. St Mary's is distinguished by its beautiful Hereford School carved stone font, and its pre-Norman tympanum. There are many other very lovely features, and we have just completed a major restoration; the project team are installing new heritage interpretation so that everyone can access and learn about this thousand-year old treasure at the heart of our community.

Farlow: St Giles
St Giles, Farlow, in the Stottesdon Group of Churches
This Victorian Church was built at the top Farlow Bank above the site of the original older church, and is now, appropriately, next to the Church of England Primary School. It has one of the finest views from the churchyard of any church in the diocese, looking across the Brown Clee Hill towards the Wrekin.

Cleeton St Mary: St Mary
St Mary's, Cleeton St Mary, in the Stottesdon Group of Churches
St Mary's church was built by a local philanthropist in the late nineteenth century along with a vicarage, school and alms houses, for the scattered farming community on the north-east slopes of the Titterstone Clee Hill. It is a gem of a building - not much to look at outside, but beautifully finished on the inside in the best of Victorian gothic. It serves as a place of worship for Sunday services and for the life occasions of this little village perched on the edge of the hill, with views across towards the Derbyshire Peak!
