Church Of The Holy Evangelists

The Church of the Holy Evangelists is a parish church located on Upper Belgrave Road in Normacot, Stoke on Trent. It was built between 1846 and 1847 by architect George Gilbert Scott, funded by the Duke of Sutherland. The church features coursed, squared, and rusticated rubble with plain tiled roofs that have scalloped bands. It consists of a nave with two aisles and a chancel that includes a south aisle chapel and a north vestry, all designed in the Early Decorated style.

The west wall of the nave has a central buttress flanked by lancet windows, with a rose window above. A gabled porch is situated at the center of the north aisle, accompanied by two-light Decorated windows with quatrefoils on either side. The south aisle, which is a slightly later addition, also has lancet windows. At the east end of the nave, there is a bellcote.

Inside, the church has an arcade of four bays featuring alternating octagonal and cylindrical shafts, with corbels acting as responds. The chancel arch is supported by corbel heads and displays the royal arms above it. The ornate roof has curved principal rafters supported by posts from corbels. The floor of the nave is adorned with tiles displaying the arms of the Duke of Sutherland and the Earl of Lichfield, along with the dates 1846 and 1847. The original pews remain in place. The reredos features three arcaded foiled arches above a central statue, and there are sedilia present. The stained glass in the chancel dates from 1886 and 1949, while the south aisle contains glass from 1858 to 1876, and the north aisle has glass from 1874 to 1892.
