Alton is a picture postcard village in the Staffordshire Moorlands, famous for the theme park just up the road.听It is just on the fringes of the Staffordshire Peak District.

The villagers are served by three churches; St Peter鈥檚, St John鈥檚 and the Methodist chapel.

The Anglican parish is 'Alton with Bradley', comprising St Peter鈥檚 and the smaller St Leonard鈥檚, which is in the hamlet of Bradley just over a mile away.

A year long profile

'A Country Parish' was written up here on the web month by month through 2008 and 2009 with photos, interactive comments and audio.

There were special broadcasts every month on 大象传媒 Radio Stoke during that time as reporter Mary Fox followed the church calendar from Easter through the summer and the church fete to Harvest, Christmas and into the New Year.

Mary Fox, a senior producer at 大象传媒 Radio Stoke had the advantage of also being a member of this rural community.
