North west of Burton upon Trent, the parish church has the oldest alabaster effigy in England, of Sir John Hanbury who died in 1303. Also remembered are Royalist Sir John Egerton, two Puritan ladies (of which more in the church) and the 70 people who lost their lives in the RAF (Royal Air Force) Fauld bomb dump explosion on 27th November 1944. The village has its prominent water tower and the Cock Inn, where there is displayed material relating to the Fauld explosion. Only the Fauld Crater remains, away to the east of the village, where tree cover is blurring its once harsh outline. Time taken 12.21 pm BST (British Summer Time).
