St Mary's Church, Tilston

St Mary's Church contains a three-stage embattled tower with corner buttresses, constructed with red sandstone and topped by a steep tile roof.

The tower dates from the 15th century, while architect John Douglas rebuilt substantial portions of the church between 1877 and 1879.

The church maintains traditional Anglican services, joining with St Edith's Church in Shocklach to form a combined religious community.

Holy Communion services take place at 9:45 AM every second, third, fourth, and fifth Sunday of each month at the Church Road location.

The clock in the tower, installed in 1750, bears the maker's mark of Joseph Smith Chester and names of the churchwardens from that period.
