The church at Cheddleton is dedicated to St. Edward the Confessor. The earliest church here was built in the last decade of the twelfth century. Much of the existing building dates from the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries with the tower and porch being completed in the late sixteenth century. Major restorations were undertaken in the 1770s and particularly in the 1860s. (

William Morris spent some time in Leek as a guest of Thomas Wardle and the influence of the Arts and Crafts Movement is seen in both Leek and Cheddleton. The stained-glass windows in this church were created by artists associated with William Morris.

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all,

Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colours,
He made their tiny wings.
