Shuttington

For a detailed history of Shuttington, go to the British History Online website
​The parish church of ST. MATTHEW  is a small building standing on high ground overlooking most of the surrounding country on all sides. The nave dates from about 1150, with many later alterations. The chancel was rebuilt probably in the 13th century. The church was restored in 1844 and in 1908–9; the later medieval windows seem to have been removed and both chancel and nave furnished with windows of 12th-century type.
Brick Kilns
According to the above website this is the site of brick kilns for the firing of bricks, dating to the Imperial period. They are marked on the Ordnance Survey map of 1883. The kilns are located 100m east of Poplars Farm, New Road, near Shuttington.
