Church of St Modwen, Church building in Burton, England
The Church of St Modwen features a three-stage west tower with balustrades, urns, and round windows containing radial glazing bars in red sandstone architecture.
Construction of the current church structure began in 1719, with services starting in 1723 and final completion achieved in 1728 under the direction of three Smith brothers.
The church maintains its dedication to St Modwen, a 7th-century nun who established an abbey in Burton, reflecting the area's early Christian connections.
Regular services occur on Sunday mornings at 11 am for Holy Communion and Matins, while Wednesday services take place at 10:45 am.
The interior contains a 15th-century font, a 1771 organ case built for a John Snetzler instrument, and an 1825 monument to Lady Fowler by Sir Richard Westmacott.
