Welcome to Otherton

Otherton is a small village located in the county of Staffordshire, England. It is situated approximately 3 miles north of the town of Penkridge and 6 miles south of the city of Stafford. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is home to a number of historic buildings and landmarks.

One of the most notable landmarks in Otherton is the St. John the Baptist Church. This beautiful church dates back to the 12th century and is a Grade II listed building. It features a stunning Norman doorway and a 14th-century tower. The church is still in use today and is a popular destination for visitors to the village.

Another historic building in Otherton is the Old Rectory. This Grade II listed building was built in the 18th century and was once the home of the local rector. Today, it has been converted into a private residence but still retains many of its original features. The Old Rectory is a fine example of Georgian architecture and is a testament to the village's rich history.
