The war memorial and village post office, Orleton One of the social centres of the village. The village is properly pronounced 'Orl-ton' rather than Or-let-ton, which I have also heard.

The Boot Inn, Orleton I believe that this pub has changed hands, or management, a few times over recent years and months, like all too many pubs. But it seems well run, both wet side and food-wise, so let's hope it operates in profit and gets local support.
