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.
This year the crib has new nativity figures. The old plaster figures are under the altar but the crib, which is by the font, has knitted figures (all lovingly knitted by the Vicar), which the children enjoyed putting into the crib at the Crib Service on Christmas Eve. The figures of the wise men and their camel are nearby and will arrive at the crib at Epiphany.

Our Lent course this year is open to everyone. It will be based on the film The Theory of Everything - the biopic of Stephen Hawking. We’ll be showing the whole film on Monday 24 Feb at 7pm. With course sessions at 7pm each Monday in Lent at 7pm from Mon 2 March. Would love to meet you there!
Ivy Nicklin is hoping to start up a Friends of St Mary’s group to help the Church’s Conservation Trust with the upkeep of our lovely but sadly rather neglected 2nd (redundant) church in the parish. The first Fundraiser is a raffle for Valentines Day held at the Dartmouth Arms. Tickets £1 per strip available now.
More news about a possible working party later!
