St Chad's Church stands on Greengate Street in central Stafford as the town's oldest building, erected in the 12th century in the Norman architectural style. Dedicated to Saint Chad, the first Bishop of Lichfield who died in 672, the church fell into neglect during the 17th and 18th centuries, obscuring much of its original Norman character. Extensive restoration work in the mid-nineteenth century, notably undertaken by architect George Gilbert Scott, recovered and revealed the building's historic fabric. Today it remains a Grade II* listed structure of significant heritage value.
