Following Christ in the footsteps of St Chad,
by living out our faith;
taking the church to the community;
and growing the church.

We are the Church of England Parish of Pattingham with Patshull, which is in Staffordshire. St Chad’s Church is at the centre of the village of Pattingham and dates from the 12th century with Victorian additions. As the only church in the parish we welcome those of any denomination or none to our services.

Vacancy for post of Vicar

Last week saw a number of us heavily engaged in working with an Applicant for the role of Vicar. A great deal of effort went into setting out what goes on in the Village and she had an opportunity to meet many of those involved not just in Church activities, but also in a myriad of other local pursuits.

Despite expressing her gratitude to all those she met, and commenting on how friendly, caring and helpful everyone was, she ultimately decided that the role was not for her at the present time. Whilst this is disappointing, particularly having spent almost three and half years in interregnum, we respect the decision and will now consider our way forward.
