context_page_description: Sheen is a village and civil parish in north-east Staffordshire, England.
  The parish is about 3.5 miles north to south and about 2 miles east to west. The eastern boundary is the River Dove, and the western boundary is the River Manifold.
  There is a north-west to south-east ridge forming Sheen Moor; the village of Sheen, on a road running north–south through the parish, is near the southern end of the ridge. The highest point, at 380 metres, is Sheen Hill. Hulme End, near the southern boundary, has height 271 metres; Knowsley, near the northern boundary, has height 340 metres. There is a steep escarpment to the River Dove in the east, and the ground falls less steeply to the River Manifold in the west. There is scattered settlement throughout the parish.
  The parish was described in 1851: "The face of the country is here wild and romantic, but the soil about the village is fertile and well enclosed."
context_section_description: There was a chapel at Sheen by 1185. The present Church of St Luke at Sheen, presumably on the same site, is a Grade II* listed building. Its origins are of the 14th century; it was mostly rebuilt between 1828 and 1832, using stone from Sheen Hill. The church was later described as "a well meant but wholly unecclesiastical structure". A. J. B. Hope offered to rebuild it at his own expense; the new church, designed by C. W. Burleigh and later by William Butterfield, was consecrated in 1852.
