PARISH NEWS APRIL 2021 the Villages of MARTON, SIDDINGTON, EATON, HULME WALFIELD, SWETTENHAM, CAPESTHORNE Looking Back As We Spring Forward PARISH NEWS APRIL 2021 the villages of MARTON, SIDDINGTON, EATON, HULME WALFIELD, SWETTENHAM, CAPESTHORNE Looking back as we spring forward Spring has sprung, and as we look forward to the year ahead a copy of Cheshire Life from 1973 reminds us of the characters who figured large in the lives of the villages of what is now the Rural Daneside Benefice, who had become linked to the newly- created Marton School. Leslie Ratcliffe, editor of Cheshire Life in those days wrote of his impressions of people he met and places he visited back then. Turn to page 7 to read more.

With due care for one another, let us hope that the strains this last year has put upon us all may truly start to ease as the vaccine does its work. Praise be to God for our clinicians and epidemiologists, our research scientists and our nurses. My thanks again to all who have sent cards and gifts and kind wishes to me in my illness, and to all who have taken the strain in my absence. You are wonderful! As for my illness – well, it remains a bit of a mystery. Perhaps it is a post-viral thing. But certainly it is partly at least a result of overwork. I am making sure that I will mend my ways! At the moment I am feeling much improved and am able to work a few hours each day. This will surely increase as I improve, but please, should you need to call me, try and do so between 1 and 3pm, Monday to Thursday. At other times you can leave messages. Easter will be different again this year, but do please join us online if not in person. It’s always a special time of year, and all the more so the more of us there are together – even if that is virtually. The details of what we are doing over the season are later in the magazine. With blessings for God’s Easter people, Ian. 5 SUNDAY SERVICES Weekly Zoom Sunday Services 10.00am from one of our Benefice Churches—please join—9.50am to chat… Meeting ID 829 7421 4861, Passcode 2021, <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82974214861? pwd=cXpaa2tWS2lkSUt0RXkzYnlyRmhHUT09> For those using telephones: 0203 901 7895 or 0131 460 1196 Meeting ID: 829 7421 4861 Passcode: 2021 HOLY WEEK and EASTER SERVICES April 1st Maundy Thursday: Live service on Zoom from Eaton at 7.30pm.

Please bring a chair and warm clothing!) 6 Village life in 1973 – as seen by Cheshire Life (Original words by Leslie Ratcliffe) New head teacher, new school, famous donkey! “Mr. Peter Noden has been headmaster of the new Marton School since its inception. He is seen here with Mrs. Karen Ferguson, one of the eight members of his enthusiastic staff, and a group of the 235 children at the school. The centre of interest is Sugar Plum, a splendid donkey who has just been ‘taken on the strength’ thanks to the Parents’ Association – and to the delight of the children.” (The school was created to maintain primary education in a rural environ- ment as individual village schools became unviable). Frank Sims “Mr Frank Sims of Holly Bank Farm, Marton is typical of the farming community in the district -cheerful, hard-working, forthright and public-spirited. Despite running a 100-acre farm mostly given over to running a dairy herd and pig farming, he sits on the management committee of the school and has been a Macclesfield Rural District Councillor for the past 22 years”. (Frank Sims’ family retains its strong involvement with the Marton village and wider farming communities.) 7 Siddington Smithy “Aubrey Davenport (centre) is the blacksmith at Sidding- ton Smith where he has worked for the past 13 years. Today he has given up shoe- ing altogether but finds him- self fully occupied repairing farm implements. With him here are Mr Perch Worth of High Gorsley Farm, Marton, and Mr. Harold Bayley of Sandbach Farm, Henbury.” (Today, Siddington Smithy is operated by Peter Robinson, under whose care it has evolved into the 21st century, offering a range of bespoke wrought ironware. Peter has, however, retained the original spirit and atmosphere of a traditional village smithy, which is also now popular with local artists and photographers.) The Lancasters of Swettenham Mill “Mr. Wilfred Lancaster and his son Alfred are men of varied interests – farmers, millers, carpenters, flower growers and concologists! They own the ancient Swettenham watermill which dates back at least to the middle of the 16th century and here they grind their cattle food and saw the oak, yew and other timber they use for turning out tables and stools. In the valley behind the mill, they cultivate millions of daffodils and 8 snowdrops for market, and in the Spring the lanes are often choked with traffic visiting the beauty spot. Their collection of seashells and fossils is an unexpected as it is colourful”. (Swettenham Mill is now a private residence and not open to visitors, but in its heyday it became an international tourist attraction, often with more than 30,000 visitors a year marvelling not just at the ancient mill but at the huge carpet of flowers in Daffodil Dell as it was more popularly known. A concol- ogist, by the way, is a collector of seashells!). Eaton Hall “The connection between the Antrobus family and Eaton Hall goes back to the beginning of the last century. Now, sadly, the huge house which in its day proved larger large enough to accommodate hunt balls, has been overtaken by twentieth century problems and is soon to be demolished. It was built in 1827 to the designs of T. Wyatt.” (Eaton Hall was indeed demolished in 1980 or thereabouts, and much of the site is now used to quarry sand and gravel). By Peter Kent 9 Marton and District C.E. (Aided) Primary School School Lane, Marton, Macclesfield, Cheshire SK11 9HD Tel: 01260 224482 E-mail:[email protected] Head Teacher Mrs N Deakin, NPQH, B.Ed (Hons) Dear Friends This week I have been delighted to ‘Open’ school after Lockdown and it has been precious!! I wrote in my weekly Head’s Up this week: It has been nothing but a pleasure to open our doors and welcome your children back to school, it almost felt September like! Shiny shoes, longer hair and all a little excited and a little bit nervous. Amaz- ingly, children adapt so well and by mid-week; school felt ‘normal’. We have provided many opportunities for children to talk to staff and adults around school and I extend my thanks to the staff, particularly Mrs Woodmass and Mrs Potts for their wellbeing groups and surgeries that began this week.

  • Appendix 4 Detailed Proposals for Each Ward – Organised by Local Area Partnership (LAP)
    Appendix 4 Detailed proposals for each Ward – organised by Local Area Partnership (LAP) Proposed Wards within the Knutsford Local Area Partnership Knutsford Local Area Partnership (LAP) is situated towards the north-west of Cheshire East, and borders Wilmslow to the north-east, Macclesfield to the south-east and Congleton to the south. The M6 and M56 motorways pass through this LAP. Hourly train services link Knutsford, Plumley and Mobberley to Chester and Manchester, while in the east of this LAP hourly trains link Chelford with Crewe and Manchester. The town of Knutsford was the model for Elizabeth Gaskell's novel Cranford and scenes from the George C. Scott film Patton were filmed in the centre of Knutsford, in front of the old Town Hall. Barclays Bank employs thousands of people in IT and staff support functions at Radbroke Hall, just outside the town of Knutsford. Knutsford is home to numerous sporting teams such as Knutsford Hockey Club, Knutsford Cricket Club, Knutsford Rugby Club and Knutsford Football Club. Attractions include Tatton Park, home of the RHS Flower show, the stately homes Arley Hall, Tabley House and Peover Hall, and the Cuckooland Museum of cuckoo clocks. In detail, the proposals are: Knutsford is a historic, self-contained urban community with established extents and comprises the former County Ward of Knutsford, containing 7 polling districts. The Parish of Knutsford also mirrors the boundary of this proposal. Knutsford Town is surrounded by Green Belt which covers 58% of this proposed division. The proposed ward has excellent communications by road, motorway and rail and is bounded to the north by Tatton Park and to the east by Birkin Brook.

    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.
