St Matthew
Stretton, Cheshire
In 1826–27 this Commissioners Church was built as a chapel of ease to Great Budworth.
All the exterior walls are battlemented. Inside, there is much to see, including a fine 15th century font, and five 13th century oak stalls, thought to be the oldest of their kind in Cheshire.
There are several memorials to the Warburton family, including one made of alabaster to Sir John Warburton from 1575, and one to Sir Peter Warburton from 1813.
Next to the lychgate, which was erected in 1920 as a memorial to the dead of World War I, are 18th century stocks.
