Background
History
The small church consists of nave with north aisle, chancel, north and south transepts and a south porch. There is no tower but a double bell-cote. It was built 1086-1185 when it was owned by the Knights Templar. Most of the church was built in the 13th century. Most of the stained glass in the windows is by Clayton and Bell. Edward Bradley (rector of Stretton, 1871–83), who wrote as Cuthbert Bede, and who funded its restoration, is buried in the churchyard.
