Sheen

There is an entry for Sheen [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SK1161/sheen/] [accessed 31 July 2019] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The entry for this township of Leek in the Victoria County History (Stafford, vol. 7, 1996) notes: "There was a chapel at Sheen by 1185 when it was among the possessions of Burton abbey confirmed by the pope. In 1255 it was described as a dependent chapel of Ilam church, itself a possession of Burton abbey by 1185. [...] Sheen continued as a chapel of Ilam until the 16th century [...] The present church of ST. LUKE, a dedication in use by the 18th century, [...] dates from 1852. Its predecessor was built between 1828 and 1832 and itself replaced a church dating from the Middle Ages or the 16th century. [...] The font stood towards the west end and was apparently new: in 1830 the only font mentioned was an old one in the churchyard. [...] The new church was consecrated in 1852. Built of rough ashlar gritstone, it consists of a chancel with a north vestry, an aisleless nave of nearly the same size as its predecessor, a south porch, and a west tower, all in a 14th-century syle. [...] It was designed, like the school, by C. W. Burleigh of Leeds. Hope became dissatisfied with him and on his resignation replaced him with William Butterfield, who designed the vestry, the reredos, and the font." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SK1132761500] notes: "Parish church. C14 remains to building of circa 1850-2 [...] octagonal stone font, stencilled quatrefoils around top, square base, oak spire cover".
