Flower Delivery to Weston-on-Trent with Clare Florist

The village of Weston-on-Trent is a civil parish located in Derbyshire, which is a county in England. Just south of Weston-on-Trent is the Trent and Mersey Canal and the River Trent. The village is also near other towns and villages such as Castle Donington, Aston-on-Trent, Swarkestone, and Barrow upon Trent.
According to a census taken in 2011, there are 1,239 people living in the village. The meaning of the name “Weston-on-Trent” comes partially from an Anglo-Saxon word and the location of the village.  The word “Weston” means “West Town” and the suffix “on-Trent” refers to the River Trent. So when you combine them together it means the West Town on the River Trent. The eastern village is Aston-on-Trent which means East Town on the River Trent. 

The earliest history of Weston-on-Trent can be traced back to a charter signed in the year 1009 by King Ethelred the Unready. In this charter, the king recognised the boundaries of Weston which gave it control over Great Wilne, King’s Mills, Weston Cliff and Trent at. These areas were crossings in which English travellers going north or south would have to go through.

In the 1800s, the railway revolution found its way just outside of Weston-on-Trent after the Midland Railway Company created railway lines there. This added a few hundred more people to the population of the village. Soon after, more dwellings and council houses were built there. People travelling throughout England by train got to discover Weston-on-Trent for the first time. This would help its local economy a little bit more for the next hundred years. At one point, there were three pubs operating in the village at once. The oldest pub in the village, The Old Plough, was shut down and demolished in 2006. This pub had existed since 1829, so it was a real blow to the community.
