Church Of The Resurrection

The Church of the Resurrection is a church located in Stoke on Trent, built between 1853 and 1863 by architect George Gilbert Scott. It was later enlarged by Charles Lynam in 1873 and the chancel was extended by JH Beckett in 1903. The church is constructed of red brick featuring blue brick diaper work, and it has a plain tiled roof with scalloped bands.

The design is in the Decorated style, with a nave that includes two aisles and a chancel that continues from the nave. The west window consists of four lights with cusped circles above a gabled porch, which leads to a lean-to walkway that connects to a projecting polygonal western vestry topped with a conical roof, added in 1921 as a war memorial. The roof extends over the gables of the nave and south aisle, supported by timber bracing and cambered trusses on corbels. The north aisle has a lean-to roof and both aisles feature five single-foiled lancets with red and blue brick heads. The north aisle also has a projecting brick panel with round double-chamfered arched doorways, and small quatrefoil windows in the clerestory.

At the western end of the chancel, there is a slender tiled fleche on moulded timbers that serves as a bell cote. The chancel has a polygonal apse with gables and overhanging eaves on three sides, adorned with Decorated windows that have stone dressings.
