High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! St Mary`s Church, Acton is an active Anglican church in Acton, a village to the west of Nantwich, Cheshire, England. It has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building. A church has been present on this site since before the time of the Domesday Survey. The tower is the oldest in Cheshire, although it had to be largely rebuilt after it fell in 1757. One unusual feature of the interior of the church is that the old stone seating around its sides has been retained. In the south aisle are some ancient carved stones dating back to the Norman era. Alec Clifton-Taylor includes the church in his list of `best` English parish churches. In the churchyard is a tall 17th-century sundial. The church continues to be active as an Anglican parish church in the diocese of Chester, the archdeaconry of Macclesfield and the deanery of Nantwich. Its benefice is united with those of St David, Wettenhall, St David, Worleston, and St Bartholomew, Church Minshull.
