St Mary's Church, Acton
This fine church dominates the village of Acton. Its tower is said to be the oldest in Cheshire and dates from 1180 however much of it was rebuilt after a storm in March 1757. The church was used as a headquarters for Royalist Troops during the Civil War battle on or about the 25th of January 1644. Nearby at Acton Bridge over the Shropshire Union canal is a display board describing the events of the battle.

1GL Bench mark on Acton St Mary's church tower?
This bench mark is on the south west face of the buttress at the north west corner of St Mary's church. The Grade I listing of the church http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=56928 indicates that the tower dates to the 13th century and, although it collapsed and was rebuilt around 1757, the lower part is still original. However, like most old churches maintenance and changes are constantly taking place. The surveyors schedule from the Ordnance Survey's First Geodetic Levelling 1851-1858 on the line between Newcastle under Lyme and Chester, states that the CM is on the 'South-west angle of Acton Church tower'. This mark is on the north west angle of the church, albeit facing south west, so it now seems unlikely that this bench mark could be the one from the first survey. See also Image
