Tatenhill is an ancient village and a civil parish located in a deep valley, between two hills, which gradually descend from the eastern border of Needwood Forest, three and a half miles west-southwest of Burton upon Trent.
At its core, the sandstone parish Church of St. Michael is a thirteenth-century building which was substantially enlarged and altered in the 1400s. Around 1890, Bodley restored the church. It is a Grade II* listed building.
Beside the church stands the Old Rectory which was built in 1710 for William Binckes, Dean of Lichfield. Noted for its fine Georgian architecture is also a Grade II* listed building. In 2008, this house was one of four finalists in the “England's Finest Parsonage” contest featured in Country Life (magazine).[1]
RAF Tatenhill is an old World War II airfield, still in use for light aircraft as Tatenhill Airfield. On 16 December 2007, there was a light aircraft collision involving an aircraft from Tatenhill.
