It can be viewed on http://westonontrent.com While in its infancy, the site is already proving a popular resource. We will shortly add much more news from the village, events, clubs and things to do as well as the history of the village. We are residents of Weston on Trent. We felt you may be interested in including a link to the website from your site. You can contact us anytime through info@westonontrent.com Thank you for your support and consideration.
