Description:Pictured is the Bishop of Lichfield, Dr A.S. Reeve during the dedication of St. Chad’s Church at RAF Stafford. With accommodation for a congregation of around 250, the £12,000 building replaced the hutted church that had been in use since 1941. Following the closure of RAF Stafford in 2006 the church and base became part of Beacon Barracks, occupied by the Army.
