St Augustine of Canterbury, Rugeley

In the early 19th century, it was replaced by St Augustine's Church across the road, and it is now partially ruined and known as "the Old Chancel".

[1][4] The tower, chancel, lady chapel, and a four-bay nave arcade survive and were grade II listed on 5 July 1972.

[3] In the churchyard east of the chancel, the joint table tomb of sisters Elizabeth Cuting (d. 1695) and Emma Hollinhurst (d. 1696) has carved effigies of the sisters tied in shrouds, in memory of their decision to be buried in linen rather than wool, in defiance of the law.

These gave rise to a legend that they had been buried alive in sacks on the orders of Oliver Cromwell.

[6] The churchyard has been cleared and the stones used to pave the site of the nave and north aisle; the remains of a late 14th-century cross are still in place.
