Stretton is a small civil parish on the southern outskirts of Warrington in Cheshire, England, characterised by a mix of open farmland, pockets of suburban housing and small business parks. Its semi-rural setting and proximity to major transport routes make it attractive to commuters while retaining a quieter village feel on the edge of a larger town.
The name derives from the Old English for a settlement by a Roman road, reflecting a long agricultural history that has gradually diversified into light industry and logistics. Local life is centred on community amenities such as the village hall and parish church, with a handful of historic farmsteads and evolving economic activity that mirror wider changes across the Warrington area.
