  • 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. Also many volunteers are willing to lead intercessions or read in church and a group take part in ‘open the book’ school worship. ● excellent and close links with 4 caring and effective C of E primary schools ● a church band at Wybunbury that enhances worship in a modern designed church. A singing group and musicians group at Audlem. Organists in each church. ● a large 4-bedroom modern purpose-built vicarage with good size garden adjacent to St.

  • C/R/D Summary Skeleton Document
    Application No: 14/0128N Location: Land to the north of Main Road, Wybunbury Proposal: Outline planning application with all matters reserved (apart from access) for up to 40 dwellings, incidental open space, landscaping and associated ancillary works. Applicant: The Church Commissioners for England Expiry Date: 10-Mar-2015 SUMMARY The proposed development would be contrary to Policy NE.2 and RES.5 and the development would result in a loss of open countryside. In this case Cheshire East cannot demonstrate a 5 year supply of deliverable housing sites. However, as Wybunbury Moss is identified as a Special Area of Conservation and a Ramsar Site the NPPF states that Wybunbury Moss should be given the same protection as a European site and an assessment under the Habitats Directives is required. As a result the presumption in favour of sustainable development (paragraph 14 of the NPPF) does not apply to this application. In this case specific policies in this Framework indicate development should be restricted on this site and as such the application is recommended for refusal due to its impact upon Wybunbury Moss. RECOMMENDATION REFUSE REASON FOR REFERRAL This application is referred to Strategic Planning Board as it includes an Environmental Statement. The application is also subject to a call in request from Cllr Clowes which requests that the application is referred to Committee for the following reasons: ‘This application has been brought to my attention by Wybunbury Parish Council and Hough and Chorlton Parish Council, together with the adjacent neighbours and the Wybunbury Moss Voluntary Warden. All parties object to this application on the following material grounds:- 1.

  • Wybunbury Parish Council Comments to the Proposed Changes to the Submitted Local Plan
    Wybunbury Parish Council Comments to the Proposed Changes to the Submitted Local Plan Wybunbury PC wishes to make comment on the following to items. 1.0 The allocation of housing proposed in the submitted local plan for the Wybunbury/Shavington Triangle. 2.0 The Provision of a Green Belt/Green Gap for the area enclosed between the A51 & the Newcastle Rd from the Cheer brook Roundabout. 1.0 Wybunbury/ Shavington Triangle. The parish council contends that the total number of properties proposed in the revised local plan (400), contradicts its self in that the land shown on the plan is less than the original submission by the developer & approved by the strategic planning committee (360) for the reduced area now shown on the plan. This level of density was considered by the planning officer to be the correct density considering it is on edge of the current developed area & that the site is with in an existing outer edge development & needs to show sympathy & character to the existing perimeter properties which are a mixture of detached & semi-detached houses & bungalows. The housing density of the approved application (currently under construction) was considered at some length, at that time, by the Cheshire East Design Officer and Flood & Drainage Officer (in accordance with NPPF paras: 61, 66) where the significant constraints of this frequently water-logged green field site require robust SUDS systems, water storage and green corridor solutions. Density and housing design (specifically greater height of buildings towards the center of the site with lower level homes towards the site perimeters were expressly chosen “…to respond to local character and history, and reflect the identity of local surroundings and materials” (NPPF: para 58, bullet 4).

Map OS Explorer 257 & 267 Fairly level terrain, mainly over public rights of way across Terrain fields, with some country lanes. Barriers Each section has numerous stiles. Toilets Nantwich Town Centre. Contact Tel: 01270 686029 Route Details Step back in time and explore the ‘olde worlde’ villages around Crewe and Nantwich. Discover historical buildings, old battle sites and learn how people use to live. The route starts in the picturesque village of Weston. One of the oldest buildings in Weston is the White Lion Pub, built in 1652. The bar is the original inglenook fireplace. Hough Common is very good for wildlife. Gypsies used to camp here when traveling from one fair to the next. At night they would sit around the fire making multicoloured pegs which the women then sold to the local villagers. Wybunbury is one of Cheshire’s oldest villages. The parish church of St. Chad has been in existence since the 7th century and was named after a Celtic bishop of Lichfield. The leaning 15th century tower has been straightened several times to combat the effects of subsidence, leading to a common saying, ‘as crooked as Winbury steeple’. Nearby are the remains of two moated houses which were used as ‘safe houses’ for visiting clergy from Lichfield. A hermit name Nicholas Baker supposedly lived close to the church in the 15th century.

  • George Palin
    109: George Palin Basic Information [as recorded on local memorial or by CWGC] Name as recorded on local memorial or by CWGC: George Thomas Palin Rank: Private Battalion / Regiment: 18th Battalion Manchester Regiment Service Number: 26477 Date of Death: 9 July 1916 Age at Death: 22 Buried / Commemorated at: Thiepval Memorial, Thiepval, Departement de la Somme, Picardie, France Additional information given by CWGC: Son of Mr. T. and Mrs R. Palin, of Osborne Grove, Shavington, Crewe In late 2018, when HomeTown Heroes was published, I was unaware of the identity of George Thomas Palin; the Commonwealth War Graves Commission lists just two casualties named 'Palin' for the Manchester Regiment [Palin, G & Palin, George Thomas] and neither had any known link to the Burton, Puddington or Neston area. In August 2020 I was contacted by a descendant of one of George’s brothers and this has enabled me to construct this account of George. Originating from near Crewe, it still remains unclear why George came to Burton sometime before the war and it appears that his connection to the village was brief. Note that the contrived page numbering of this account is necessary in order to retain continuity with the other accounts within the work. George was the eldest child of railway goods’ porter Thomas and Rhoda Palin and he was descended from a line of Palins who lived, primarily, around Shavington in Cheshire: Shavington village is around 5km east of Nantwich and 4km south of Crewe. Some of the southern part of the district, south of the Nantwich – Hough road, lies within the parish of Wybunbury which adjoins, to the east, the parish of Hough.

  • 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.

REASON FOR REFERRAL This application was deferred at the Southern Planning Committee meeting of the 15 th July 2009 for a site visit. The applications was also heard at the Development Control Committee for Crewe and Nantwich Borough Council on 26 th March 2009 with a determination to grant delegated powers to the Head of Planning to approve the application following further consultation with the Environmental Health Department and Ecologist at Macclesfield Borough Council regarding late representations which have been received. Following a review of the additional information submitted and on receiving legal advice the Head of Planning (now Development Manager) considers it inappropriate for her to exercise the delegated authority given in the committee decision, as it is necessary for the committee to apply its mind to the additional material included in this report at section 8 Officer Appraisal – Amenity and Protected Species (Addendum) and reach a decision in light of it. 2.
