This is known as the "Electoral Roll”. The last time we did this was in 2013 and now six years later it is a year of renewal. No names are carried over from the old roll and everyone must make a new application to be included on the new roll. You are only required to give your name, address, a declaration (as a tick in a box), your signature and the date. This then becomes our parish church’s new register of electors; it is the list of those qualified to attend and to vote at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting where the elections take place for the parochial church council and the parish’s representatives on the deanery synod. Any person on the Electoral Roll is entitled to attend the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (Sunday 7th April at 11am) and may raise any question of parochial or general church interest. By enrolling you become a voting member of the Church of England and so help to ensure that all the synodical councils of the Church – the parochial church council, the deanery synod, the diocesan synod and the General Synod – are fully representative of its members. Synodical government gives an opportunity for partnership between bishops, clergy and laity in the life of the Church and this form of governance of the Church of England is intended to enable church people at every level to be in touch with the Church as a whole and to play their part in decision- making. It is also intended to ensure that the laity have their place in every aspect of church life, including its doctrine and services. Please complete the form in centre pages of this magazine and leave it either in the church hall on Thursday mornings, at the back of church on Sunday or post it to the vicarage or Electoral Officer. There will be plenty of extra forms available as well (including on the website for download) and some of you will be receiving a personalised letter of invitation at the beginning of March, if you have not responded by then! Some see this as a bit of a chore but it should be taken seriously by us all. This has to be completed by mid March.

The income is from two sources of approximate equal amounts - magazine sales and advertisements. Main expenditure is on consumables, cover printing, maintaining the duplicator and booklet making machines. Volunteers work hard to print, collate and distribute the magazine around the town. If anyone would like to get involved then please do get in contact as many hands make light work. A number of the current companies advertising are not continuing this year and we thank them very much for their business. If you know of anyone who would like to advertise then please put them in touch with me by 4th February. I would encourage you to have a good look on the cover and support the businesses as much as possible to keep our town in business. At present the magazine does pay for itself so the decision was to keep the cover cost at 50p. If we get more people to by the magazine then we will be fine this year but may need to raise the cost next year.

We call on the country to consider the nature of our public conversation. It is time to bring grace and generosity back to our national life. ‘At the heart of the Christian message is Jesus’ command to love our neighbour. This includes those with whom we agree and disagree – at home, in Europe, and further afield. We urge everyone – our political leaders and all of us – to bring magnanimity, respect and reconciliation to our national debate. ‘There is now an urgent need for the United Kingdom to recover a shared vision and identity to help us find a way through the immediate challenges. ‘Regardless of what happens next with Brexit, the Church of England, alongside many other churches and other agencies striving for the common good, will be at the heart of local communities; educating one million children, providing 33,000 social action projects and running 16,000 churches across the country. Above all else, we will continue to support the most vulnerable and share Christ’s love with all.’ Having been asked if it was a sin for an average family to own three cars, a minister replied, “It would depend where they were parked on a Sunday morning.” 5 Tickets: Adults: £10.00 Snr Citizens/Concessions: £9.00 School Children: £3.00 Family Ticket : £21.00 Doors Open 6.30 pm Wednesday 27th February Reiko Fujisawa Pianist who celebrates the great 19th century musician Clara Wieck Schumann with a programme of works by Brahms, Chopin, Robert Schumann and Clara herself. and spotlight concert with local young musicians www.sandbachwww.sandbach----concertconcertconcert----series.co.ukseries.co.uk All concerts at 7pm in St Mary's Church Hall Tickets available from: on-line, Demeter Wholefoods (15 Welles St), Bramwells Opticians (4 Hightown) or on the door .

    Unit 2A Bradwall Court Bradwall Road Sandbach Cheshire CW11 1GE 01270 766214 [email protected] Dear Parent/Carer, Introducing Wider Opportunities (Whole Class Instrumental Tuition) All pupils in your child’s class will soon be receiving free whole class instrumental lessons as part of the school curriculum. This is part of an exciting scheme to provide all children at primary school with the opportunity to experience the excitement and challenge of learning a musical instrument. During their weekly class music lesson, all the pupils in the class will learn a musical instrument chosen by the child from a range of instruments. Your child will have the opportunity to try all of the available instruments before deciding which one to play. The lessons will then be delivered by the class teacher and specialist instrumental teachers from the Love Music Trust. The class will learn together as a band and throughout the lessons they will cover the National Curriculum for Music. Wider Opportunities is not designed to replace ‘traditional’ instrumental tuition that happens in schools. The programme is designed to give children the experience of playing a musical instrument and all of the fun and enjoyment that comes from it. After their initial lessons the Love Music Trust will help those children who wish to continue playing their instrument to find the best place for them to continue to learn. Once your child has gained some confidence on the instrument they have chosen they will be able to bring it home to practise what they have been studying in the lesson. Tutors will provide your child with information about how to care for instruments at home as well as tips on how to practice at home.

  • St Mary's Church, Sandbach
    A SHORT HISTORY AND DESCRIPTION OF ST. MARY'S CHURCH SANDBACH, CHESHIRE JOHN MINSHULL PUBLISHED BY ST. MARY'S PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL SANDBACH, CHESHIRE FIRST PUBLISHED IN JUNE 1974 REPRINTED IN AUGUST 1978 REVISED IN JUNE 1990 © ST. MARY'S PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The author acknowledges the valuable assistance given by: L. MASSEY, ARIBA, AMTPI, by way of old documents and in checking the proofs ; a large number of parishioners of long standing for information about characters and special events ; the Church Officials for putting up with continual requests for old documents and ledgers. The photographs on pages 20 and 22 were taken by R. P. Lewis, Sandbach. The artist of the etching on page 5 is unknown. Other photographs taken by the author. Any profits from the sale of this booklet, after paying printing expenses, will be passed into the Church funds. PRINTED IN GREAT BRITAIN BY JOHNSONS OF NANTWICH LTD. NANTWICH, CHESHIRE. FOREWORD Dear Friends I was glad when they said to me "Let us go to the house of the Lord". So wrote the psalmist as he approached the Temple of Jerusalem almost 3000 years ago. The words express the joy and anticipation he felt as he drew near to that great building that witnessed in his day to the existence and reality of God. A Church on the site of St. Mary's has witnessed silently to the same reality of God for over 1000 years. The tower pointing majestically upwards challenges us to believe that life means more than the ordinary and often sad events of everyday.

Large works were constructed and brine shafts sunk to extract the salt. The brine was pan dried into salt crystals which had many uses including the productions of soda, glass, soap and detergents. Today, it is hard to imagine the salt works at Rode Heath Rise with steam billowing from the salt pans and boats being loaded with their cargoes. The canal formed a crucial link for the local industry. Salt was take from here whilst coat and pottery were brought up from Stoke. If you look closely at the towpath you can still find pottery in the path, as broken cargo was often thrown off the boats. The countryside around Hassall Green is gentle, rolling farmland with pretty wooded valleys and flower rich hedgerows. Both the Salt Line and the canal, built to serve local industry, provide pleasant walks at any time of year. In spring listen out for blackcaps and willow warblers singing in the trees, whilst skylarks can often be heard high above. Wildflowers mark the passing of the seasons. In late winter, bright yellow coltsfoot is common along the trails.

SANDBACH ARCHAEOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT Vince Devine & Jo Clark 1. SUMMARY Although the manor was recorded in the Domesday Survey of 1086, very little is known about Sandbach during the early medieval period. However, the survival of elaborate pre-Viking sculpture, in the form of crosses and grave slabs, indicates that Sandbach was an important religious centre during this period. By the late 16th century the town was granted the rights to hold a market and two fairs, all of which have continued into the present century. During the 19th century, a silk and shoe industry were established, and their commercial success was a significant factor in the growth of the town.
