St. Chad's Church, Grade I listed church in Horninglow and Eton, United Kingdom
St. Chad's Church is a Grade I listed church building located on Hunter Street in Burton upon Trent. It features a prominent north-west tower with a vaulted porch that leads to a five-bayed nave through a three-bayed passage.
The church opened on January 17, 1903, and replaced an earlier school-church built in 1883 to serve the area. Its construction responded to the growth spreading along Horninglow Road during that period.
The main altar displays a religious artwork showing Leonardo's Last Supper alongside St. Chad and St. John the Divine. This combination of artistic masterwork and local saint creates a personal connection for worshippers.
