Parish Church of St Edward the Confessor, Anglican church in Leek, England.
The Parish Church of St Edward the Confessor features squared rubble walls, leaded slate roofs, and a tower with buttresses and crocketed pinnacles.
The church structure dates to the 13th century and underwent two significant restorations in the 19th century by architects Ewan Christian and George Edmund Street.
The interior contains stained glass windows created by Morris and Co, with designs by Edward Burne-Jones and displays works from the Leek School of Embroidery.
The church grounds include a Grade II listed lychgate entrance and wall, with the churchyard containing two protected early medieval stone crosses.
From the churchyard, visitors can observe a double sunset phenomenon during summer solstice, first documented by Robert Plot in 1686.
