St Jude's Church is on Nantwich Road (the A51) in the civil parish of Tilstone Fearnall, Cheshire, England. It is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of Malpas, the archdeaconry of Chester, and the diocese of Chester. Its benefice is combined with that of St Boniface, Bunbury. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. It stands opposite the end of the drive leading to Tilstone Lodge.
The church was built in 1836, and designed by George Latham of Nantwich. It was paid for by Admiral John Tollemache (formerly Halliday), who had earlier built Tilstone Lodge.
St Jude's is constructed in yellow sandstone ashlar with a slate roof. Its plan is rectangular and consists of a nave and chancel in one cell with no division between them, a vestry attached to the east end of the chancel, and a bellcote on the gable at the west end. Above the bellcote is a canopy decorated with crockets. The west front contains a double door, above which is a triple lancet window with a circular window over it. At the corners are square turrets which become octagonal as they rise, and each is surmounted by a spire. On each side of the church are five pairs of lancet windows, each pair being separated by a buttress. Above the vestry at the east end is another triple lancet window, over which is a cricketed gable.
