Under One Roof at a Glance
Under One Roof is a community heritage project based in and around St Mark’s Church in Shelton Stoke on Trent. The aim of the project is the restoration and conservation of this important Victorian building. Under One Roof is funded by a major grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund with supporting funding from the National Lottery Community Fund, Staffordshire Historic Churches Trust, National Churches Trust, Whalley's Quarry and Edward Cadbury Charitable Trust.
A programme of learning sessions, creative activities, talks, research and events will enable people to share and understand local heritage. The project explores the history of migration into the area and those who came to work in the potteries, pits and steel works and more recent arrivals.
We have made a quick video tour of the Church so you can see what it is like inside.
If you do not live in the area, the video is a way you can visit without having to travel, even it is safe to open the building to the visitors. We will also update with an "after" video so that you can see the changes we will make.

Church Information Pack
On this page you can download a pdf version of the information pack with plans of St Marks Church which you can see below. It also has photographs of areas of interest and heritage assets within the church including tiles, stonework, terracotta ceramic sculptures, stained glass windows, textiles, old furniture and memorials to people who have died. This should give you a feel for the church and its assets whilst we are unable to go there in person.
Along the top of the information pack on this page, there are some controls. On the right is an arrow pointing down. Click on this to download the pdf onto your computer or device.
