Stone War Memorial and Parish Church
The Town of Stone was named after the pile of stone raised on the graves of the Princes killed in 665AD by their father, King Wulfhere of Mercia, because of their conversion to Christianity. The Church, built over these stones in 670 AD, was replaced in 1135 AD by an Augustinian Priory, which survived until its dissolution in the reign of Henry VIII. The priory church survived as a place of worship until the building collapsed in 1749 and the present parish church dedicated to St Michael and St. Wulfad, an early example of the Gothic Revival style, was built in the 1750s using stone from the priory. The church is a Grade II* Listed Building (http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-385977-church-of-st-michael-stone-staffordshire British Listed Buildings)
