LANDSCAPE HISTORY DISCOVERIES IN THE NORTH WEST Edited by Sharon M. Varey and Graeme J. White with an Introduction by Dai Morgan Evans From optical remote-sensing technology (lidar) to more traditional forms of landscape analysis and documentary research, this volume brings together the work of both amateur and professional historians and archaeologists, united in their enthusiasm for the landscape of north-west England and north-east Wales. This collection of research papers arose from the Chester Society for Landscape History’s 25th anniversary conference and includes a wealth of illustrations. The publication offers new insights into a wide range of features indicative of the region’s history between the twelfth and the twentieth centuries, including residential buildings, settlement patterns, the names and boundaries of ﬁ elds, and the legacy of developments in transport and industrialisation: a collection of ‘landscape discoveries’ to be shared.

Oakmere Parish Council
OAKMERE PARISH COUNCIL Lynwood, Overdale Lane, Oakmere, Northwich, Cheshire CW8 2EL Clerk – Mrs G M Carter Telephone :- Email :- The Boundary Committee for England, Trevelyan House, Great Peter Street, LONDON SW1P 2HW 3rd August 2009 REF :- Electoral Review of the new Cheshire West and Chester Unitary Authority. Dear Sir/ Madam, It would appear that the status quo will be maintained for the number of Councillors representing Eddisbury, therefore, the Parish Council has no objections to the changes. Yours faithfully, G M Carter (Clerk to the Parish Council) Tarporley Parish Council 30th July 2009 SUBMISSION TO THE BOUNDARY COMMITTEE Tarporley Parish Council has considered the options available to it for the composition of a new electoral ward of which its parish would be part. It has been very aware of the sensibilities of adjacent parishes and has taken this into consideration by contacting the various Clerks and Chairmen, however due to the tight timescale consultation has been limited and without final consensus. In 1973 Tarporley became part of Vale Royal Borough Council, with one councillor representing it. More recently there was a boundary change and Tarporley, together with Rushton, Little Budworth, and Darnall, became the Tarporley and Oulton ward, represented by two councillors. This arrangement worked well with one councillor concentrating on Tarporley and the other, the remaining smaller parishes. With regard to the Cheshire County Council, Tarporley was included in the Eddisbury Ward that extended from Cuddington in the north to Tilston Fearnall in the south and was represented by one councillor. This constituted an unsatisfactorily large geographical spread with the majority of the population living in the Cuddington area.

Rural Settlement in Cheshire Some Problems of Origin and Classification
RURAL SETTLEMENT IN CHESHIRE SOME PROBLEMS OF ORIGIN AND CLASSIFICATION BY DOROTHY SYLVESTER, M.A., F.R.G.S. Read 20 October 1949 HPHE Cheshire Plain, girdled and to some extent broken by hills, .1 is an area of mixed rural settlement patterns. Occasional small, compact villages are to be found in a broad spread of dis persed and semi-dispersed dwellings. Colonization has been slow and, since the Norman Conquest, piecemeal; and the process of enclosing heath and woodland is still incomplete. Lying in the borderland between Welsh and Midland English settlement and land use systems, its inclusion in one or the other system has long been debatable. Gray (1) and more recently the Orwins (2) showed it as lying just to the north of the boundary of what Gray calls the Two- and Three-Field System and the Orwins the Open Field System. Meitzen (3) compromised and divided it into an area of dispersed and an area of compact settlement. A more detailed examination of the county from this point of view suggests that more probably the two systems overlapped here, and that a third folk element, the Scandinavian, explains some features of settlement in Wirral and parts of East Cheshire. The result would seem to be an area of predominantly scattered settlement interspersed with small nucleated villages, representing in part Welsh, in part English and Scandinavian types, but showing also varying degrees of hybridization in individual townships of pre-Conquest date and the addition of a not inconsiderable number of settlements of post- Conquest origin. The origirT of rural settlements is a complex subject, and it is rendered no less so in Cheshire by the absence to date of any con siderable central collection of historical documents and maps.
