St Matthew's Church, Stretton

St Matthew's Church features red sandstone walls, a three-stage tower with angle buttresses, and a five-bay nave covered by Westmorland slate roofs.

The church, completed in 1870, was designed by architect George Gilbert Scott and rebuilt as a memorial to Archdeacon Richard Greenall.

The church maintains strong connections with St Matthew's Primary School, where students participate in services each half-term within the building.

Regular worship services take place on Sundays at 10:45 AM, with additional communion services held every Thursday at 10:30 AM.

The clock faces on the west tower display letter mottoes instead of numbers, following a modification by a churchwarden in the 1960s.
