From the bottom of our land, by the Cart Shed you can see the square tower of St Peter's Church in the village and provided someone remembers to wind up the clock we can hear the hour chime too.
Shortly after we'd moved here we also noticed that if you look straight down the field you can see the spire of St Cuthbert's Church in Doveridge. Later though we were puzzled to notice another church spire further right in our view which also seemed to be nearer to us. We studied the map, drove to Doveridge and tried to make sense of what we'd seen. We noticed that St Cuthbert's has a 'golden chicken' on the top and now with our new camera I can just make that out (spire on left). Eventually we decided that the other spire must be St Mary's Church in Uttoxeter. Sometimes it is hard to see either of them but this morning the sun picked both spires out so I had to rush to take the photograph.
