Grade I listed churches in Staffordshire

The churches that do contain such fabric are Holy Cross, Ilam,[4] and St Editha, Tamworth.

[9] Four of the churches were built in the 19th or 20th century: these are A. W. N. Pugin's St Giles, Cheadle (1841–46),[10] G. F. Bodley's Holy Angels, Hoar Cross (1872–76),[11] Richard Norman Shaw's All Saints, Leek (1885–87),[12] and Bodley's St Chad, Burton-on-Trent (1903–10).

[15] The county town is Stafford, but the largest settlement is Stoke-on-Trent, and the cathedral city is Lichfield.

Industry is concentrated mainly in and around Stoke-on-Trent (an area known as the Potteries because of its production of ceramics.

The greatest proportion of the county's bedrock is sandstone, with some limestone deposits; these provide the major building materials for the churches.
