==Church of St Lawrence==
(詳細はSt. Lawrence, built c.1200, and described by Pevsner as "a perfect 13th century village church, small but of great dignity,"〔N Pevsner, ''Buildings of England: Staffordshire,'' Harmonsworth/Penguin, 1974, p.108〕 is constructed of thick sandstone walls with a spired wooden bellcote, and has capacity for only about 60 worshippers. It was made a chapelry of Penkridge parish after the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834. The church registers commence in 1678 and are deposited at Staffordshire Record Office.〔(History of Coppenhall )〕
A church existed at Coppenhall by 1200, it being a dependency of Penkridge College by 1261, having also had a vicarage ordained by 1291.
The church was extensively restored in 1866, which involved fitting a new roof, repairs to the windows and gable-ends and the addition of a new circular window to the east gable. A new bell turret was also added with a taller spire, and a stone pulpit and circular font were installed at this time. In 1917, a memorial pulpit and lectern were bequeathed in memory of Charles Mort by his widow Helen. In 1932, an oak lych-gate was added in memory of Charles H and Lillie Wright.〔(L.
