The church is ancient but good, and has a tower and spire. There are a Wesleyan chapel and a national school." ''According to the 2011 UK population census, the parish of Old Weston had a population of 250 people.'' ==The Village== Old Weston is a rural Village in Huntingdonshire near the Northamptonshire border, with a former World War II airforce base between the parish and the border. The main residency area, is alongside a stream, which flows through Old Weston.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.british-towns.net/england/eastern/cambridgeshire/huntingdonshire/old-weston )〕 The earliest records for Old Weston were mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 where it mentions St Swithins' church. The old settlement of Old Weston, before the fire of 1701 which burnt almost all of the cottages, was located on the northern bank of the river, with evidence suggesting that a few of the cottages extended south of the church, located south west of the stream.
