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!

This Victorian church rebuild is on the site of the original mediaeval church, which was also extended at the same time. It has recently been reordered to provide community space in the nave, where monthly coffee mornings and special occasions like harvest suppers and Lent lunches can be held.

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!
