Welcome to the Minster Church of St Peter ad Vincula. Some time in the 7th century the Saxon Hoard was buried in the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Mercia, At about the same time Christian missionaries arrived at a ‘sacred site’ or ‘Stoke’ by the river Trent. A wooden cross would have been erected to claim the site for Christ. The first church was built and dedicated to St Peter’s chains (St Peter ad Vincula).
