[edit] History
Walton East was formerly constituted a part of the ample possessions of the commandery of the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem at Slebech, to which establishment it was given by its Norman proprietor, Walter de Wale, from whom it derived its name Wale's town, or Walton.
[edit] St Mary's Church
The church, dedicated to St. Mary, consists only of a nave, without either tower or spire.
