Welcome to St Chad's...

 

 

...the oldest building in Stafford, and "Stafford's hidden gem" - a working church in the Anglo-

Catholic tradition and a treasure house of unique and mysterious Norman carving.

 

 

Our website features  images and history of the church, details of worship and special events, and creative projects inspired by St Chad's, its tradition and its surrounding county of Staffordshire.

 

 

Fr Michael Fisher introduces St Chad's here.

 

This week's services...

 

...are here. We sing Evensong at least one Saturday a month.  We are keen to develop music at St Chads and welcome new choir members. Find out about St Chad's choir and music here. 

  

 

   

St Chad's is home to several Green Men. These mysterious carvings appear on many churches from the twelfth century. We are having a Green Man festival between May 1st and May 8th 2010 to explore the folklore of these faces. 

 

On the 1st May at 12.00 we launched our new guidebook and Andrew Baker gave a short introduction to the history behind these curious carvings - and explained their importance.
