About Stratton

Stratton, a Cornish jewel, breathes the salty air of its coastal proximity, its landscape shaped by gentle slopes that lead towards the rugged North Atlantic coast. It lies 2.2 km east of Bude (from Bude: bearing 92°T, OS grid SS 230 064), and is situated south-east of Poughill village. Historically, Stratton has witnessed the ebb and flow of agricultural life, its economy once rooted in the fertile lands surrounding it, with a notable past linked to the Battle of Stamford Hill in 1643, a significant clash during the English Civil War. The quality of light here, particularly in the late afternoon, can cast a warm, almost golden hue over the stone buildings, hinting at the enduring strength of its foundations. The heart of Stratton beats with a quiet resilience, evident in its enduring traditions and the solid presence of its historic buildings. St. Michael's Church, a fine example of Gothic architecture, stands as a silent witness to centuries of community life, its spire reaching towards the vast Cornish sky. While no globally renowned figures claim Stratton as their sole birthplace, the town has undoubtedly nurtured countless lives whose quiet contributions form the true fabric of its character. The rhythm of the weekly market, still a vibrant gathering, offers a glimpse into the enduring spirit of connection and commerce that has long defined Stratton.
