  • Police Report for the Parish Councils of Haslington, Crewe Green and Barthomley
    Police Report for the Parish Councils of Haslington, Crewe Green and Barthomley 1st December 2020- 31st December 2020 These councils have been grouped together due to their geographical proximity and size. The Dingle Primary School- On 4/12 there was a bomb hoax at the school. A call was made saying a bomb was on site but it was quickly ascertained by police that it was a hoax and there was no risk to the school. The offender has been identified and is currently being dealt with by PC Martin and PCSO Jolley for the specific offence of a Bomb Hoax contrary to Section 51 Criminal Law Act 1977. The offender is a juvenile who is being bullied and this has played into the incident. In addition to the offender being dealt with, the High School where the other involved parties attend and their parents will be spoken to and dealt with. An update will hopefully be available for the Parish Council around February 2021. Old Park Road, Crewe Green- Caller has reported that he has seen four suspicious males around his property and come out to find the gate has been damaged. There appears no reason for this. There is CCTV that is currently being reviewed by the attending officer to see if there are any lines of enquiry. Stephen Taylor- On 6/10 police received a report of a male in Haslington making sexual remarks to some minors. They had managed to capture him momentarily on video and he was identified by PCSO Jolley and PCSO Barlow as a registered sex offender.

I am directed by the Secretary of State to say that consideration has been given to the report of the Inspector, Geoffrey Hill BSc DipTP MRTPI, who held a public local inquiry between 22 July and 27 August 2014 into your clients’ appeal against the failure of Cheshire East Council (“the Council”) to give notice within the prescribed period of a decision on an application for outline permission for residential development, retirement/care village, local centre, community building, primary school, public open space, allotments, structural landscaping, access arrangements and demolition of existing structures in accordance with application ref: 13/2874N, dated 12 July 2013. 2. The appeal was recovered for the Secretary of State’s determination on 17 December 2013, in pursuance of section 79 of, and paragraph 3 of Schedule 6 to, the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 because it involves a proposal for residential development of over 150 units which would significantly impact on the Government’s objective to secure a better balance between housing demand and supply and create high quality, sustainable, mixed and inclusive communities. Inspector’s recommendation and summary of the decision 3. The Inspector recommended that the appeal be dismissed, and planning permission refused. For the reasons given below, the Secretary of State agrees with the Inspector’s recommendation.

  • Geoffrey of Dutton, the Fifth Crusade, and the Holy Cross of Norton
    A Transformed Life? Geoffrey of Dutton, the Fifth Crusade, and the Holy Cross of Norton. Despite the volume of scholarship dedicated to crusade motivation, comparative little has been said on how the crusades affected the lives of individuals, and how this played out once the returned home. Taking as a case study a Cheshire landholder, Geoffrey of Dutton, this article looks at the reasons for his crusade participation and his actions once he returned to Cheshire, arguing that he was changed by his experiences to the extent that he was concerned with remembering and conveying his own status as a returned pilgrim. It also looks at the impact of a relic of the True Cross he brought back and gave to the Augustinian priory of Norton. Keywords: crusade; relic; Norton Priory; burial; seal An extensive body of scholarship has considered what motivated people to go on crusade in the middle ages (piety, obligation and service, family connections and ties of lordship, punishment and escape), as well as what impact that had across Europe in terms of recruitment, funding and organisation. Far less has been said about the more personal impact of crusading for individuals who took part. This is largely due to the nature of the sources from which, according to Housley, ‘not much can be inferred…about the response of the majority of crusaders to what they’d gone through in the East.’1 With the exception of accounts of the post-crusading careers of the most important individuals, notably Louis IX of France, very little was written about how crusaders responded to taking part in an overseas campaign which mixed the height of spiritual endeavour with extreme violence.

This book cannot be expected to please everybody, and it makes no attempt to conciliate those who prefer sentiment to truth, or who allow their reading of historical events to be distorted by present-day controversies, whether ecclesiastical or political. In that respect it tries to live up to the dictum of Samuel Butler that 'he excels most who hits the golden mean most exactly in the middle'.
