Built in the 1950s and dedicated in 1956 St Bertelin's is part of the Stafford Team Ministry [Church of England]. Bertelin is an unusual dedication. He was a holy man who is reputed to have built a chapel in Stafford sometime in the C7th or C8th century. The foundations of what is believed to have been this building or its successor can be seen in St Mary's churchyard in the town centre. He is believed to have died at Ilam in Derbyshire and to be buried there.
