A grade 11 listed building with a history going back as far as 1536. It contains the grave of Margaret (or Mollie) Leigh (died 1748), who was reputed to be a witch. Her tomb has its axis set north–south. It is thought that it was re-orientated by the rector of St John's (who had earlier officiated at the funeral) in order to lay her ghost to rest, after a rumour that she had been seen after her death.

Lovely old church with lots of Stoke on Trent's famous potters graves and the grave of Molly Leigh the Burslem witch who probably was misunderstood with her disabilities at that point in time when she lived ,as she did lots for the community
