St. Chad's Church

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.

The church is located on Hunter Street in Burton upon Trent and welcomes visitors to explore its architectural features. Regular services take place, making it easy to plan a visit around available times.

The tower entrance displays a statue of St. Chad wearing 19th-century bishop robes, a distinctive detail often overlooked by visitors. The south-west entrance features Bishop George Selwyn, creating a pair of carved representations that tell the building's ecclesiastical story.
