Stretton is a civil parish in East Staffordshire, Staffordshire, just a short distance from the brewing town of Burton upon Trent. The village takes its name from the Old English for a settlement on a Roman road, and its setting blends gently undulating farmland with pockets of modern housing; the nearby River Trent and local road links make it both a quiet rural community and a convenient base for commuters to nearby towns.
Locally there’s a mix of historic and everyday features - a parish church, village hall and pub alongside small businesses - and the parish’s economy has long been shaped by its proximity to Burton’s brewing and light-industrial trades. Community life tends to centre on school and village events, with a steady balance between preserving rural character and accommodating modest development.
