The project was passed to three Society members, Janet Clarke, Justin McCarthy and Brenda Passey, to develop detail planning and establish the route on the ground, prior to its official opening by civic dignitaries on 17 September 1988. The route It is the second longest of the Society's long distance 'sponsored' walks through the Cheshire countryside, being some 55 kilometres in length. Running between Grindley Brook (SY13 4QJ), just north of Whitchurch, Shropshire in the west and Mow Cop (ST7 3PA) on the Staffordshire border at its eastern end, the route goes close to, but avoids the main towns in the area allowing it to pass through some of Cheshire's best walking country. The map on the front page illustrates the location of near towns and villages. The South Cheshire Way is shown on OS 25K maps as a trail using the green diamond symbol on the usual green lines. The trail name is written along the footpath symbol at various intervals. Walkers are advised to take particular care where this way joins other trails marked with the diamond symbol as you could end up walking on a different trail. Walkers should be aware that whilst the MCFS frequently replaces the yellow waymark discs, these and finger posts do go missing from time to time. Since this booklet was last revised, stiles may have been replaced by kissing gates or gaps in the hedge and hedges may have been removed. Although farmers are obliged to reinstate footpaths crossing their fields, sometimes this does not happen and routes can become obscure particularly in late summer. You should always endeavour to keep to the path even if it is through a crop.

    Application No: 12/1349N Location: HUNSTERSON FISHERIES, LAND OFF BIRCHALL MOSS LANE, HUNSTERSON, NANTWICH, CHESHIRE, CW5 7PH Proposal: Proposed Fishermans Retreat Building Applicant: MR F STRICKLAND Expiry Date: 27-Jun-2012 SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: APPROVE subject to conditions Main issues: • The principle of the development • The impact of the design • The impact upon neighbouring amenity • The impact upon protected species REASON FOR REFERRAL Councillor J. Clowes has called in this application to Southern Planning Committee for the following reasons: • ‘Inappropriate and unsustainable intensification of activity on agricultural land in the open countryside. • Inappropriate size, structure and materials of the proposed building. • Consequent visual intrusion on a green field site in the open countryside. • Hazardous entry and exit to and from the site on Bridgemere Lane. • Inadequate preparation in terms of siting and management of proposed septic tank foul drainage system. • Current informal ‘presumptive’ car parking arrangements are inadequate for the numbers of vehicles proposed in this application.’ DESCRIPTION OF SITE AND CONTEXT The application site relates to land to the south of Bridgemere Lane, Hunsterson, Nantwich within the Open Countryside. The land relates to a section of open paddock adjacent to a large fishing pond set approximately 150 metres to the south of the road. Currently on site is an unauthorised touring caravan which appears to be being used as a makeshift ‘fisherman’s hut’. DETAILS OF PROPOSAL Revised plans have been submitted for the erection of a purpose built fisherman’s hut. The proposed unit would measure approximately 6.6 metres in length, 5 metres in width and would have a pitched roof approximately 4.1 metres in height from ground floor level.

  • Audlem Doddington Wybunbury Parish Profile
    THE BENEFICE OF AUDLEM, DODDINGTON AND WYBUNBURY. The benefice was created in February 2010. Prior to that Doddington and Wybunbury were linked but Audlem was a single parish church. On the retirement of the incumbent at Wybunbury and Doddington, the benefice was created with the in situ incumbent for Audlem being appointed Vicar to the 3 churches. Since this time, the churches have retained their own identities, services and PCC’s but also work well together. People do support events at each of the churches. 2 Lay Readers work across all 3 churches, one retired priest supports services in Audlem, the other is at Doddington most weeks with occasional services in Wybunbury. It is located near to main line train services in Crewe, close to junction 16 of the M6. What we offer to our new incumbent • welcoming and supportive congregations and communities ● our prayerful support and encouragement ● our respect for your home life, your prayer life and encouragement and support to take holidays and regular time off each week ● the support of 2 retired Priests on a regular basis, 2 Lay Readers, strong PCC’s and experienced Church Wardens.

The Parish only be transferred on a 30 year lease.

Councillors are concerned that residents would be liable for expensive maintenance which would require a higher local precept on an asset on which there would be no continuity of ownership. It would also be difficult to get grants towards costs on a relatively short lease. Additionally, there would be no reduction in council tax. Councillors recently met with representatives of Cheshire East Council to discuss their concerns. At the time of writing there is no definite news on whether the proposed change of policy has been adopted. Hedges It would be really appreciated if residents who have hedges or trees alongside pavements and paths could keep them trimmed.

  • A Walk from Church Minshull
    A Walk to Church Minshull Aqueduct Marina photo courtesy of Bernie Stafford Aqueduct Marina, the starting point for this walk, was opened in February 2009. The marina has 147 berths, a shop and a café set in beautiful Cheshire countryside. With comprehensive facilities for moorers, visiting boaters and anyone needing to do, or have done, any work on their boat, the marina is an excellent starting point for exploring the Cheshire canal system. Starting and finishing at Church Minshull Aqueduct Marina, this walk takes in some of the prettiest local countryside as well as the picturesque village of Church Minshull and the Middlewich Branch of the Shropshire Union Canal. Some alternative routes are also included at the end to add variation to the walk which is about five or six miles, depending on the exact route taken. Built to join the Trent and Mersey Canal with the Chester Canal, the Middlewich Branch carried mainly coal, salt and goods to and from the potteries. Built quite late in the canal building era, like so many other canals, this canal wasn’t as successful as predicted. Today, however, it is a very busy canal providing an essential link between the Trent and Mersey Canal at Middlewich and the Llangollen Canal as well as being part of the Four Counties Ring and linking to the popular Cheshire Ring boating route. The Route Leaving the marina, walk to the end of the drive and turn north (right) onto the B5074 Church Minshull road and walk to the canal bridge. Cross the canal and turn down the steps on the right onto the towpath, then walk back under the bridge, with the canal on your left.

  • The Story of the 1986 Domesday Project
    The Story of the 1986 Domesday Project In 1986, 900 years after William the Conqueror’s original Domesday Book, the BBC published the Domesday Project . The project was probably the most ambitious attempt ever to capture the essence of life in the United Kingdom. Over a million people contributed to this digital snapshot of the country. People were asked to record what they thought would be of interest in another 1000 years. The whole of the UK was divided into 23,000 4x3km areas called Domesday Squares or “D- Blocks”. Church Minshull was d-block 364000-360000. Schools and community groups surveyed over 108,000 square km of the UK and submitted more than 147,819 pages of text articles and 23,225 amateur photos, cataloguing what it was like to live, work and play in their community. Website address: http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/domesday/dblock/GB-364000-360000 The project was about documenting everyday life - the ordinary, rather than the extraordinary and residents of Church Minshull in 1986, responded with their written accounts… The categories below contain the Church Minshull snapshot of life in 1986… The Village Church Minshull is a village situated at a bend in the R. Weaver. It was called Maneshale (Old English = nook or corner) in the first Domesday book. The village is the centre of the area in which agriculture, mainly dairy farming, is the principle industry. There are 286 people on the electoral role, the main centres of population being the village and the mobile home site at Lea Green. So far, there are not too many commuters living here, but there has been a noticeable increase in the turn-over of property in the last five years.
