Rangemore is a village in the borough of East Staffordshire, situated approximately 4 miles (6 km) west of the town of Burton upon Trent, on a ridge of high ground about a mile due west of the village of Tatenhill where the population from the 2011 census can be found.
The Grade II*[1] church was designed by the Gothic Revival architect William Butterfield for Michael Thomas Bass and built in 1866–67.
His son Lord Burton reconstructed and extended the house (adding the Edward VII south wing), in Italianate style in 1898-1901 for a visit of King Edward VII in 1902 (with a second visit on 5 January 1907, including Queen Alexandra and Mrs Alice Keppel, the King's mistress).
The grounds, which include a 2+1⁄2 acres (10,100 m2) lake, were landscaped by Sir Joseph Paxton and later by Edward Milner.
