[citation needed] It should not be confused with the village of Weston, to the north east of Stafford.

[2] The village is on the A5 (here following the course of Watling Street), and is very close to the county boundary with Shropshire.

To the south of the village is Weston Park, the ancestral home of the Earls of Bradford and the venue for the V Festival.

Associated with the Hall, there is the parish church of St. Andrew, where Honora Sneyd was buried.

Its origins are medieval, but it was largely rebuilt in the very early 18th century by Elizabeth Wilbraham of Weston Park, and restored in the 19th century, firstly by George Edmund Street and then by Ewan Christian.
