The organ of St John the Baptist church is of particular interest due to its size, age and history.[2] The organ was built in 1789 for nearby Lichfield Cathedral, but moved here in 1865, commissioned by the then organist Josiah Spode (IV) who resided at nearby Hawkesyard estate, also known as Spode House.[3] OtherThe name comes from the Middle English Ermitage, meaning 'Hermitage',[4] from a tradition that a hermit lived between the church and the River Trent{{Citation needed|date=September 2009}}.
