St Mary's, Stottesdon, in the Stottesdon Group of Churches: St Mary's is a surprisingly big church for quite a small village, and reflects the history of Stottesdon as being the centre of the Mediaeval Stottesdon Hundred. St Mary's is distinguished by its beautiful Hereford School carved stone font, and its pre-Norman tympanum. A major restoration was completed in 2023 (enabled by National Lottery Heritage funding) and we now have new heritage interpretation so that everyone can access and learn about this thousand-year old treasure at the heart of our community. Come and see for yourselves!

Silvington: St Michael
St Michael's, Silvington, in the Stottesdon Group of Churches
This is the ultimate country church: small, ancient and at the heart of its community surrounded by farm buildings! It serves a tiny parish but is actively used - not just for regular Sunday services, but for special occasions for the community as well. As it has been for the last eight hundred years or so.

Cleeton St Mary: St Mary
St Mary's, Cleeton St Mary, in the Stottesdon Group of Churches
St Mary's church was built by a local philanthropist in the late nineteenth century along with a vicarage, school and alms houses, for the scattered farming community on the north-east slopes of the Titterstone Clee Hill. It is a gem of a building - not much to look at outside, but beautifully finished on the inside in the best of Victorian gothic. It serves as a place of worship for Sunday services and for the life occasions of this little village perched on the edge of the hill, with views across towards the Derbyshire Peak!
