Weston-under-Lizard
Weston under Lizard is a village and ancient parish in Staffordshire, adjacent to the border with Shropshire. It constitutes a civil parish with Blymhill, called Blymhill and Weston-under-Lizard. It is known as Weston under Lizard (the name of a hill in nearby Shropshire) to distinguish it from Weston upon Trent. It should not be confused with the village of Weston, to the north-east of Stafford.
The village is on the A5 road, which here follows the course of Watling Street. Nearby places are Blymhill, within Staffordshire, and Tong, Shropshire. To the south of the village is Weston Park the ancestral home of the Earls of Bradford and the venue for the V Festival. Associated with the Hall, there is the parish church of St Andrew, where Honora Sneyd was buried.
