Croxton, situated in the ST21 postal district of Stafford, is a small rural locality that features the Northcote railway station. The station is a modest facility and is believed to have been named after Stafford Henry Northcote, who served as British Chancellor of the Exchequer between 1874 and 1875. The station’s name reflects the historical influence of the Northcote family in the area. While the station itself is a quiet transport link, the surrounding area is characterised by its rural setting and proximity to the historical manor of Stafford in the parish of Dolton in Devon, which is a grade II* listed building. The manor house, known as Stafford Barton, dates back to the 11th century and has undergone several additions and renovations over the centuries, including significant work in the early 20th century by Charles Luxmoore. The estate historically covered 400 acres of farmland and expanded to 1,460 acres by 1956, comprising seven farms, several cottages and smallholdings. The rural character of Croxton and its connection to historical estates may appeal to those seeking a quiet, historically rich environment within the ST21 postal district.
