Church of St Michael at Stretton en le Field
"...Stretton en le Feld takes its name from a Roman road, Old English strǣt 'street', presumably linking Watling Street to the south with Ryknild Street. It is also an interesting illustration of the mix of languages that enter into English place-names, for while Stretton is an Old English place-name, the first part, strǣt, was a word borrowed by early English speakers from Latin (via) strata. Old English strǣt-tūn is a common place-name compound meaning 'settlement on the Roman road'. To distinguish it from other similarly-named villages, an affix was added in the later Middle Ages. The affix contains Old French en le 'in the', and Middle English feld 'open country, plain', so this was the Stretton that is in the plain."
