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

Good Friday cross

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.


Revd Merry Smith is to be our new VIcar

Revd Merry Smith

At the service on Sunday 6th April Philip Sims, Chairman of the PCC, announced that Revd Merewyn (known as Merry) Smith, who is currently Rector of Newport with Longford, and Chetwynd in Shropshire, has been appointed as our next Vicar. We do not yet have a date on which she will take up the post but as she has to give three months notice it is likely to be in July or August.

Merry is married and has a three year old daughter. We look forward to welcoming her and her family to Pattingham.
