SUMMARY Strictly speaking Thelwall does not qualify, and never has qualified, as a town. However, it is included in the survey of Cheshire’s Historic Towns because it was the site of a ‘burh’ ( a defended centre) in the early 10th century. Such sites were often created as, or grew into, trading centres and are therefore important examples of early urbanism in Cheshire. The burh is the focus of this assessment, therefore only brief attention is paid to the medieval and post medieval settlement. 1.1 Topography and Geology Thelwall lies in northern Cheshire at around 15m AOD, on the fringes of Warrington whose centre lies 4km to the west.

    Councillor submissions to the Warrington Borough Council electoral review This PDF document contains 15 submissions from Councillors. Some versions of Adobe allow the viewer to move quickly between bookmarks. 14th October 2015 The Review Officer (Warrington) Local Boundary Commission for England 14th Floor Millbank Tower Millbank London SW1P 4QP Dear Sir/Madam, BOUNDARY REVIEW FOR WARRINGTON BOROUGH COUNCIL My background and response to the consultation I have been a Parish Councillor in Appleton for 25 years and Borough Councillor for Appleton on Warrington Borough Council for 24 years. I write to object in the strongest possible terms to the proposals in the Boundary Review for Warrington, especially as they affect south Warrington and in particular Appleton. In my opinion they will harm community identity and destroy effective and convenient local government in the villages south of the Manchester Ship Canal. The Parish of Appleton The Parish of Appleton is defined by clear boundaries: the Bridgewater Canal to the north, Green Belt to the east and west and, to the south, the boundaries with the Unitary Authority of Cheshire East, the Unitary Authority of Cheshire West and Chester and the parish of Stretton. There are four Parish Council wards: 1. Hill Cliffe Ward to the west of the A49 (three parish councillors) 2. Cobbs Ward, which consists of the Cobbs estate plus adjacent roads (four parish councillors) 1 3. Hall Ward, which consists of the Appleton Park estate and other roads, much of which was built on the grounds of the former Appleton Hall (four parish councillors) 4. Thorn Ward, which consists of the village of Appleton Thorn and adjacent roads (two parish councillors).
