Assessment Report

Stub needs to be massively expanded using Wikipedia:WikiProject UK geography/How to write about settlements as a guide.
Photos need to be added.
References and Citations are crucial for wikipedia, and so these must be added as the article is expanded. (See WP:References, [[WP:V], and WP:CITE for guidance.)

Material to investigate sourcing

Latest comment: 12 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The following removed from article while sourcing is investigated:

"The legend of the Devil throwing stones at Acton Church, may also refer to the stones which marked out the boundary of an area of land to the south of the Church, which was part of Dodcott cum Wilkesley Township. They are shown on the 1ST Edition Ordnance Survey Maps (1875) of the area. This area of land is suggested to have been the carucate of land in the vill of Acton granted to Combermere Abbey in 1130AD(Dodgson, p. 126, The Place-Names of Cheshire, Volume XLVI, Part 3, 1971). Meaning that these stones would have been placed here as boundary markers by the monks of the Abbey, to mark out their land, and over the centuries formed the basis of the legend."

"there were at least four fatalities from the Wilmott Family." [during bombing in WW2]
