In the search for a worthy patron saint for this church, the Archangel Michael was initially chosen, whose name (derived from Hebrew) means "Who is like God?". However, it was then apparently decided that it wouldn't hurt to significantly increase the number of intercessors before God's throne for this church and its parishioners. Thus, the idea arose not to choose just a single patron saint, but to extend the patronage to the entire heavenly host (i.e., "All Angels").

The church of St Swithun in Cheswardine. First built in the 13th centaury with the tower added in the late 15th centaury and then several modifications since. It's now a grade 2 listed building. As a different rider said the deep porch is useful to escape the rain.

The parish church, dedicated to St Swithun, overlooks Cheswardine from the hill at the top of the village. This is at least the third church on this site, and was rebuilt in 1887 - 1889 under the direction of the esteemed architect John Loughborough Pearson, who died before the work was completed. The work was completed with the assistance of funding by the then squire of the Cheswardine Estate, Charles Donaldson-Hudson, who evidently provided half of the estimated cost of £8,500.

A series of caves and passages excavated from soft sandstone makes up the mysterious and magical grotto at Hawkstone Park. The windows would once have been stained glass, and the walls encrusted with shells and fossils, along with bright turquoise furnace slag from nearby Coalbrookdale. Most of these decroations were lost during the war, but the Grotto remains an exciting place explore. Wind your way through tunnels and small caves, under arches and through large open spaces. Bring your torch so you don't miss the intricately carved arches, tree trunks and even faces in the walls.

A lovely spot for a picnic, atop a wooded, grassy hill above the park, the obelisk at Hawkstone was built to commemorate Sir Rowland Hill, the first Protestant Lord Mayor of London. Hill bought Hawkstone and other land nearby in 1556 and his descendant, Sir Richard Hill, erected the obelisk in Rowland's honour in 1795.
