St Chad's Church is a rare circular church built in the late 18th century, designed by architect George Steuart. Its unusual round shape and domed interior create a spacious and acoustically impressive worship space. Inside, visitors can see elegant Georgian features, including a fine plaster ceiling and a notable organ.
