Alton is a picture postcard village in the Staffordshire Moorlands, famous for the theme park just up the road, and just on the fringes of the Staffordshire Peak District.

The villagers are served by three churches; St Peter鈥檚, St John鈥檚 and the Methodist chapel. The Anglican parish is 'Alton with Bradley', comprising St Peter鈥檚 and the smaller St Leonard鈥檚, which is in the hamlet of Bradley just over a mile away.
