Apeton is a hamlet in Staffordshire in the West Midlands region of England. It is located 5+1⁄2 miles (8.9 km) southwest of Stafford,[1] in the civil parish of Church Eaton[2] and the Borough of Stafford.
Apeton is mentioned as Abetone in the 11th-century Domesday Book, when it was part of the land of Robert de Stafford.[3]
In the 1880s it was in the parish of Gnosall, until parts were transferred to Bradley and Haughton.[1][4] The boundaries were changed again in 1934, when Church Eaton parish was extended to include Apeton to the north.[5]
