Colton House

Highlight • Other

Colton House has the style of a property built in the early 18th Century probably built about 1720.
But there does not appear to be any evidence as to who built it and exactly when. However, there is a lot of information about some of the different people that have lived in the house. Some had connections with royalty, heads of state, and many foreign countries, some were well known in their field and many had local connections.
Over the years the estate and house has moved with the times, but this has been essential for the entity to survive.

Colton Village and Brick Bridge

Highlight • Settlement

Colton is a lovely little village in the heart of Staffordshire. Its parish church is unusual in that its churchyard has no wall. This gives the impression the building is planted directly onto the village green. You can seek both accommodation and food at the Greyhound Inn and Ye Olde Dun Cow.

The village is a short walk from Rugeley Trent Valley railways station and boasts some pleasant trails that explore the surrounding countryside. Just to the north is the Blithfield Reservoir, which has three designated walking routes.
