  • Styles in Stone a WALK EAST from CHEDDLETON
    STAFFORDSHIRE MOORLANDS WALKS Styles in Stone A WALK EAST FROM CHEDDLETON STAFFORDSHIRE moorlands DISTRICT COUNCIL ACHIEVING·EXCELLENCE How to get there Cheddleton is on the A520, 3 miles south of Leek. Turn into Station Road in Cheddleton and continue for a mile to the old station where some roadside parking is available. Buses run regularly Leek - Cheddleton - Hanley. For bus information telephone 0871 200 22 33. Local Architecture From the village of Cheddleton, deep into the heart of the Staffordshire Moorlands countryside, this walk reveals not only interesting landscape and wildlife, but some real architectural gems The "Jacobean" style station of 1849 is one of several built along the Churnet Valley line in the mid nineteenth century. It now houses the North Staffordshire Railway Museum having been saved from demolition in 1974. Beyond the Coombes Valley, there are the spectacular seventeenth century halls of Sharpcliffe and Whitehough. Both were built by the affluent Whitehall (originally Whitehalgh) family of Ipstones and are classed as Grade II* listed buildings to protect their architectural excellence. There are many examples of these grand old houses in the area that resulted from the new wealth generated by agricultural enclosure and by the exploitation of local mineral reserves for industry. In the fields around there is a complex network of footpaths with delightful stone stiles, built when the fields were enclosed. The paths were important routes for work, markets and social visits. Today they are most frequently walked for leisure. Enjoy the Walk The walk takes you east of Cheddleton through the beautiful Coombes Valley Nature Reserve to the outskirts of Ipstones.

  • Quakerism in Staffordshire 31
    Quaftemm in A. G. MATTHEWS, M.A., of Oxted, formerly of Tettenhall Wood, near Wolverhampton, has written a useful book, The Congregational Churches of Staffordshire, with some account of the Puritans, Presbyterians, Baptists and Quakers in the county during the seventeenth century (London : Congregational Union, 7^ by 4$, pp. 275). Under the heading of " Henry Haggar, of Stafford," is recorded a dispute in 1654 at Harlaston, between Thomas Pollard, Baptist minister, of Lichfield, and Richard Farnsworth, the Quaker, with a reference to the resultant discussion in print by Farnsworth, Pollard and Haggar (p. 35. see Smith, Adv. Cata.). " The activity of the Quakers was chiefly directed, though by no means confined, to the Moorlands about Leek/' Richard Hickock, of Chester, was at Leek in 1654 and Thomas Hamersley, of Berry Hill, a Baptist, became a convert (pp. 36, 38). He went to Newcastle (Staffs.), and was the means of detaching Humphrey Woolrich from the Baptist to the Quaker persuasion (p. 39). Sir Bryan Broughton ( - ), of Beaudesert, was a leader in the county and arch-opponent of dissent; he set himself to unravel plots and destroy plotters believed to be at work in the district and elsewhere. At first he included Quakers with Baptists and Independents, but he later cleared the Quakers as refusing to fight and being only well wishers to the rebels (p. 60). Under the heading of "A Quaker Funeral," we have the account of the attendance of John Gratton, when " prisoner " at Derby, at the funeral of Robert Mellor, of Whitehough, in the parish of Ipstones, in 1684 (p.

  • Staffordshire Moorlands 1973-2011
    Staffordshire Moorlands District Council Election Results 1973-2011 Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher The Elections Centre Plymouth University The information contained in this report has been obtained from a number of sources. Election results from the immediate post-reorganisation period were painstakingly collected by Alan Willis largely, although not exclusively, from local newspaper reports. From the mid- 1980s onwards the results have been obtained from each local authority by the Elections Centre. The data are stored in a database designed by Lawrence Ware and maintained by Brian Cheal and others at Plymouth University. Despite our best efforts some information remains elusive whilst we accept that some errors are likely to remain. Notice of any mistakes should be sent to [email protected]. The results sequence can be kept up to date by purchasing copies of the annual Local Elections Handbook, details of which can be obtained by contacting the email address above. Front cover: the graph shows the distribution of percentage vote shares over the period covered by the results. The lines reflect the colours traditionally used by the three main parties. The grey line is the share obtained by Independent candidates while the purple line groups together the vote shares for all other parties. Rear cover: the top graph shows the percentage share of council seats for the main parties as well as those won by Independents and other parties. The lines take account of any by- election changes (but not those resulting from elected councillors switching party allegiance) as well as the transfers of seats during the main round of local election.
