Religion, Churches, Interesting Places, Other Churches

St Mary's is the Church of England parish church for the village of Stretton, East Staffordshire, north of Burton upon Trent. It is part of the Diocese of Lichfield.

St Mary's church was paid for by John Gretton (1836-99) of Bladon House in Winshill, a native of Stretton and a director of the Burton brewers Bass, Ratcliff, and Gretton. The work was supervised by his son, John Gretton MP. The Victorian church replaced an earlier building in the village.

The church was designed by the eminent architects, Somers Clarke, Surveyor to St Paul’s Cathedral and, (when he retired due to ill health), John Thomas Micklethwaite, Surveyor of the Fabric of Westminster Abbey.
