St Mary and All Saints Church Trentham is a vibrant parish church with a continuous heritage dating back to the time of St Werburgh in the 7th Century. The daughter of a Mercian King, Werburgh set a lasting example of prayer, humility and healing at Trentham where a nunnery was founded in the “holy place” by the river.  St Werburgh was buried at Chester, from where the Two Saints Way guides pilgrims through Trentham, which provided hospitality to travellers, and on to Lichfield, home of St Chad.

This heritage brings to Trentham church a rich sense of history.  It is a place of prayer, a place of hospitality, a place of healing and restoration where people can come to the holy place by the river and be refreshed.
