MARCHINGTON: East Staffordshire Parish #3 of 38
EAST STAFFORDSHIRE PARISH #3: MARCHINGTON
Marchington is a small village in East Staffordshire, lying between the towns of Burton upon Trent and Uttoxeter. The parish includes several hamlets, the most notable being Marchington Woodlands
The name Marchington is derived from “Maercham”, meaning a settlement, where “smallage” or “wild celery” grew by meadow land beside the river
The main village has a small community-run shop, a school, a church and two pubs as well as loads of historic buildings, including the awesome Marchington Hall
The Nottingham to Crewe railway line runs through the village and there used to be a railway station here which closed in 1958. The nearest railway station now is Uttoxeter
However there’s much more to Marchington parish than just the main village. For starters there’s Smallwood Manor which covers a vast expanse of land to the West
In the hamlet of Moreton to the village’s East, there’s a prison – HMP Dovegate – which might explain Marchington’s relatively low crime rate!
But by far the most interesting place in Marchington parish, for us at least, lies off the B5017 road towards Draycott in the Clay. You’ll want to watch this one to the very end!
This is Marchington folks, another lovely Staffordshire village
