Description:In 1854 Great Haywood became a parish, with St. Stephen's as its parish church.
The church was built in the 1840s by Lord Lichfield; the designer was a local architect and builder, Thomas Trubshaw.
This photograph is from an album of local views taken by Edward King Tenison (1805-1878), a highly regarded photographer in the early decades of photography. His family seat was at Kilronen, Roscommon, Ireland and he married Louisa Mary Anne Anson, daughter of the 1st Earl of Lichfield, also an accomplished amateur photographer. These images were probably taken during Tenison's visits to his wife's family home, Shugborough.
