Staffordshire Churches and Churchyards

"The church of ST. James, Acton Trussell, stands a quarter of a mile south of the village. Before the middle of the 19th century it was approached by a footpath only. The original structure dates from the 13th and 14th centuries, but the church was enlarged and partly rebuilt in 1870 under the direction of G. E. Street. It now consists of a structurally undivided nave and chancel, a south porch, and a combined vestry and organ chamber."

It is much loved by the residents of Draycott in the Clay.

"St Mary's was planned by the famous Arkwright family who lived at Dunstall Hall before moving to Cromford in Derbyshire and who provided £12,000 for the Church, Parsonage and School. The work was completed by John Hardy who then owned the Estate. The Church was consecrated in 1853."
