Where to stay in Tillington
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
Stafford town centre keeps the beds, and Tillington sits about 1½ miles north of it, close enough that a room booked in the centre puts Saint Bertelin's Church and the Sandonia Theatre within an easy local hop. The area itself is residential. Eccleshall Road, Stone Road and Crab Lane frame it, and those three carry the traffic down to Foregate Street where the triangle comes to its point.
Holmcroft and Trinity Fields adjoin, and part of the parish of Creswell falls inside the same stretch, which widens the choice of quiet addresses without moving far from Stafford.

About Tillington
What are the main landmarks in Tillington?
Three names carry the area. Saint Bertelin's Church is the parish entry, the Sandonia Theatre the one address built for an audience, and Marston Road the named route that joins them on the register. No other entries appear.
Eccleshall Road, Stone Road and Crab Lane draw the boundary around all three, and Foregate Street closes the southern point where the triangle ends.
What is the history of Tillington?
The name has held since records began. Tillington appears under that spelling from the first keeping of records, and the ground it covers has since been divided among the Tillington, Holmcroft and Trinity Fields wards of Stafford Borough Council, together with part of the parish of Creswell. Saint Bertelin's Church holds the older thread.
The triangle of Eccleshall Road, Stone Road and Crab Lane still describes the area, narrowing southward to the point at Foregate Street, while the Sandonia Theatre and Marston Road sit among the streets that fill it.
