It was a gift to the town by Michael Bass, 1st Baron Burton at a cost of £38,000. The architect was George Frederick Bodley but he died before the church was completed and it was finished by his partner Cecil Greenwood Hare. Work started in 1903 and the church dedication to Saint Chad of Mercia took place in 1910.
The church was designed in the Decorated style and built of red Hollington stone.
It has been described by Nikolaus Pevsner as "the finest building by far in Burton-on-Trent."
The organ inside the church is a three manual organ built by Peter Conacher and Co of Huddersfield (installed by 1909). The organ has 43 stops and consists of a swell, great, choir and pedal organ. The organ has a stop key system and has pure tin pipes which gives it a sweet sound.
