  • Lawton Woods Loop a Short Loop Through the Woods and Along the Canals
    Lawton Woods Loop A short loop through the woods and along the canals. Grade Easy Distance 6 kms/3.5 m Time 2 hours Church Lawton church Start GR SJ822 557 Map Explorer 258 or 268 Field paths, canal towpaths. Muddy patches in winter. Terrain Fairly flat. Barriers Steep canal bridge at Red Bull. Toilets None Contact 01270 686029 Route Details The name Lawton originates in the Lawton family with its family crest being the head of a bleeding wolf. Local legend talks about a man saving the Earl of Chester from being killed by a wolf. This act of bravery took place in about 1200, and to repay the deed, this man was given an area of land between Congleton and Sandbach. The one thousand acre estate became the Parish of Lauton, (later Church Lawton), and is recorded in the Domesday Survey of 1086. The family crest can be found in the church. Lawton Hall, the country seat, of the Lawton family was built in the 17th century, but was almost destroyed by a fire in 1997. During the First World War the hall was used as a hospital, until this time it was still the Lawton family seat. Later it became Lawton Hall school which closed in 1986. Today it has been renovated into private dwellings. Iron smelting took place in the woods during the late 1600’s early 1700’s. Coal mining took place in nearby Kidsgrove and some of the mines extended into the Church Lawton / Red Bull area. The Trent and Mersey canal is linked to the Macclesfield canal at the Harding’s Wood Junction.

  • The Harecastle Tunnel the Harecastle Tunnel
    © www.talke.info 2008 The Harecastle tunnel Most of this section is quoted from Appelby’s Canal tunnels in England and Wales and Philip Leese’s Kidsgrove times on which I could not possibly improve. Talke’s place as centre of transport with as many as twenty teams of mule drivers stopping at the inns was not to last. The first blow was the opening of the Harecastle tunnel, a remarkable feat of engineering by Thomas Telford and James Brindley. Brindley’s first t tunnel was opened in 1777, five years after the engineer’s death. It is 2,897 feet long, 8feet 6inches wide, and in use until 1918. The second ‘Telford’ tunnel, opened in 1827 and is still in use today, it is 2,929 yards long and much wider. The canals orange colour can be attributed to local geology (iron ore) and the canals clay lining , (a technique called puddling) used to stop the water leaking out , rather than any pollution. James Brindley started work on Harecastle One on 27 June 1766, partly at the urging of local potter Josiah Wedgewood, who needed a safe and cheap means to transport coal to the kilns. ‘In the event, the tunnel took eleven years to build, during which time Brindley died and was replaced as chief engineer by his brother in law, Hugh Henshall. Harecastle had presented all manner of problems, including quicksand, hard rock outcrops, springs and even deadly methane gas, as well as resident engineers and contractors taking advantage of the lack of close supervision by the over- stretched Brindley.’ The tunnel itself was very narrow, much like the mining tunnels at Worsley,and during construction side tunnels were dug to exploit seams of coal (which were also arched and bricked to the same height as the Harecastle I Kidsgrove portal © www.talke.info 2008 main tunnel).’ One local legend states that there is an underground wharf just within the Kidsgrove entrance to load this coal.

  • Heritage Assets Tyrley
    Loggerheads Parish Tyrley Ward Heritage Assets Tyrley Ward Tyrley A settlement recorded in the Domesday Survey of 1086 “lying within Hodnet Hundred (in Shropshire). William also holds Tyrley of the Earl Roger. Wulfric and Ravensward held it as two manors; they were free. One hide paying tax. There is land for two ploughs. There are four villagers and one slave with one plough. The value was 17 shillings and is now 20 shillings.” Recorded as a suspected lost village situated near the modern settlement of Hales by Bate and Palliser. No date of desertion is given. Jonathan Morris, in his book ‘The Shropshire Union Canal’ (1991), explains the origin of the name Tyrley. Tyrley Castle Farm is on the site of a Saxon castle which was built on a man-made mound in a field. The Saxon for mound is ‘tir’ and for field ‘ley’, hence Tirley which has become Tyrley Tyrley Wharf Page 68 Loggerheads Parish Tyrley Ward Heritage Assets Forming part of the Tyrley Conservation Area DC, The delightful collection of grade two listed buildings at Tyrley Wharf on the Shropshire Union Canal was constructed by the Peatswood Estate to coincide with the completion of the canal. There were originally seven individual cottages built to house estate workers and a stable to accommodate the horses used to tow canal barges. Constructed in brown brick with ashlar dressings, slate roof with coped verges on stone kneelers, multi-paned 2- light casements in plastered stone surrounds to first, second and fourth bays from left, blind round-headed brick opening to third; 3 lean-to timber porches on brick dwarf walls with slate roofs to front over cambered doorways with boarded doors; prominent paired and rebated ridge stack to left (shared between Nos.30 and 31) and taller ridge stack to right (to No.32).

  • The Wars of the Roses: a Timeline of Key Events Edward III Reigns From
    The Wars of the Roses: A Timeline of Key Events . Edward III reigns from 1327 – 1377. Edward has many sons the heirs of which become the key players in the Wars of the Roses (see family tree). o Edward’s first son Edward (The Black Prince) dies in 1376. His son, Richard becomes Richard II following Edward III’s death and reigns from 1377 until 1399. o Edward’s third son Lionel also predeceases him. Lionel’s daughter, however, is integral to the claim made by The House of York to the throne at the time of the Wars of the Roses. Her granddaughter marries Richard, Duke of York who is the son of Edward III’s fifth son, Edmund, Duke of York. Their child Richard, 3rd Duke of York will eventually make a claim for the throne during the Wars of the Roses. o Edward’s fourth son John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, founds The House of Lancaster. His son, Henry (Bolingbroke), overthrows Richard II to become Henry IV. The descendants of Henry IV are King Henry V and King Henry VI. The House of Lancaster therefore has an uninterrupted reign of 62 years. o Edward’s fifth son Edmund of Langley, Duke of York founds The House of York. His son Richard, 2nd Duke of York marries the great- granddaughter of Edward’s third son. 1377: Edward III dies, and Richard II, his grandson, becomes king. Richard II is overthrown by his cousin Henry Bolingbroke who becomes King Henry IV. 1413: Henry IV dies, and Henry V becomes king.
