Church’s

The story of Church’s shoes began in the late 1600s when a lone Northampton man called Stone Church began making shoes. His skills were passed on through four generations of shoemakers to his great, great grandsons, Thomas, Alfred and William Church. In 1873 the three brothers expanded the family’s cottage making industry and Church’s Shoes was born.

The 250 operations and eight weeks of craftsmanship using the very finest leathers to produce every single pair of shoes for today’s well-dressed gentleman is legendary. Church & Co. still manufacture Church branded footwear at their St James factory in Northampton, which is possibly the largest single unit in Europe manufacturing high quality Goodyear welted shoes.
