Pleasing mid 19th century village church.

The church situated in an elevated position with superb views of Shropshire and is surrounded by mature beech and Spanish chestnut trees, on early spring days the churchyard is carpeted with snowdrops and then daffodils.

Consecrated in 1896 and affectionately known as the 'cathedral of the backstreets'.

The name Barnack is synonymous with a particularly fine building stone. and it was used in hundreds of buildings in this area and much further afield, transported by boat on the Welland, Nene and other rivers.

The church has numerous features of interest, including a 13th century effigy of a knight, 14th century glass, a 17th century minstrels gallery and a wonderfully macabre 16th century carving of a skeleton.

Long Sutton's tower, standing to one side of the church, was built in the 13th century and, until the 18th century had open arches at its base.
