Butterton S.Bartholomew

Welcome to St Bartholomew's Church, Butterton, in the beautiful Staffordshire Moorlands.

We are a small worshipping community led by our Interim Priest in Charge Rev Jane Held.

There has been a church on the present site since its foundation in 1254. Parish Registers date from 1746. Various rebuilds have taken place over the years. The present building dates back to 1871. The building programme lasted two years. The east window and the spire were added a few years later as gifts in memory of a local family. The church is grade II listed.

Our Church's Mission Statement is:

“To be a beacon for Christ in our rural community as we seek to provide a place of hospitality, a sense of history and a source of hope and renewal in times of change.”

Ipstones S.Leonard

Welcome to St Leonard's Church - a beautiful church with unique Art Nouveau wall paintings and rood screen. A grade 2* listed church, it sits at the western edge of the village of Ipstones on the site of an older church. Its a lovely space, much larger than it seems from the outside, light and airy, and a wonderful peaceful space to just spend time in. Exploring the many unusual features is also a great thing to do - from the memorials to the Anglo-Saxon arch, the new stained glass to the old. It has a very active Tower (bell ringing team) and the bells are rung for all services. On the junction of several footpaths, walkers are welcome, and it's fine to eat your picnic inside if the weather is rough. It has at least one service a week, usually at 11.00am. It is very much loved by its community, well maintained and at the heart of the history of the village.

Berkhamsytch S.Mary and S.John

Built at the beginning of the 20th century to service the hamlet of Bottomhouse, St. Mary and St. John Berkhamsytch is a daughter church of St. Leonard's Ipstones.

Onecote S.Luke

St Luke’s is at the centre of the village and dates from1755. There are many houses in the centre of the village but the parish has many outlying dwellings as well.

There are glorious views across the village to the south west of the Peaks, especially The Roaches, Ramshaw Rocks and Tittesworth from the ‘top of Morridge’.
