Weston-on-Trent

Weston-on-Trent is a village and civil parish in the South Derbyshire district of Derbyshire. It is to the north of the River Trent and the Trent and Mersey Canal. Nearby places include Aston-on-Trent, Barrow upon Trent, Castle Donington and Swarkestone.
The name is of Anglo-Saxon descent ('ton' an Anglo-Saxon suffix meaning town). Being in the west, the name literally means 'West Town' - with Aston-on-Trent (East-Town) being east of it. The 'On-Trent' suffix of both Weston and nearby villages means simply that they are near the river Trent.
At the 2004 census there were about 800 people in the village aged sixteen to seventy-four years.〔(Parish Profile - Work and qualifications )〕
==The primary school==

Weston's only school is a Church of England Voluntary Aided primary school. The school has been in existence since 1821 and had on its old site to the west of the village since 1830.〔Village Voice Issue 170, Jan 2007 Melbourne, Derbyshire〕 Two cottages were let from Sir Robert Wilmot at two shillings per annum in 1830.〔 The old school building is reported to have been erected in 1842〔 and to have had a capacity of 60, although only 35 were attending in 1890.〔Kelly's Directory of the Counties of Derby, Notts, Leicester and Rutland pub. London (May, 1891) - pp. 323-4〕 In January 2007, the school was relocated to a new building on the site of the old playing field〔 and formally opened on April 21.〔Village Voice Issue 174, May 2007 Melbourne, Derbyshire〕 The school's placement was discussed extensively by the residents living near the roads leading to the school because of the lack of access. However its position had been decided in the 1960s when the Local Education Authority purchased the land belonging to Old Gate Farm〔 and the remainder of the land had been used to construct Old Gate Avenue in the 1970s. The farm had previously served as one of Weston's pubs.〔Houses and Everyday Life in Weston on Trent, Barbara Hutton, Weston LHS, ISBN 978-0-9521307-1-0〕
