St. Peter's Church, Hixon The 19th century parish church of Saint Peter is a Grade II listed building, in the early English Gothic style and was designed and built by the English Gothic revival architect George Gilbert Scott. The site for the church was given by Lord Talbot and had previously been occupied by a windmill: this gives the church an unusual location on high ground, away from the road, on the edge of the village. The foundation stone was laid by the Marchioness of Lothian in July 1846. The Church was consecrated on St. Peter's Day 1848 (Tuesday, 29 June) by the then Bishop of Lichfield, John Lonsdale. The church is part of the combined Mid-Trent Churches benefice of the Diocese of Lichfield, covering ten churches across eight parishes. <span class="nowrap"><a title="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hixon,_Staffordshire" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hixon,_Staffordshire">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span>
