They are a versatile group of around 20 mixed voices from all over Cheshire who share an interest in making high quality music together. They enjoy the challenge of singing sacred and secular music in a variety of styles from 16th century madrigals to 20th century popular music; via choral classics – Handel, Mozart, Fauré, Vaughan Williams – to the drama of Gilbert and Sullivan and the fresh simplicity of Britten and Rutter. They are especially pleased to have helped raise funds for many worthy causes and charities, such as Save the Family, the RNIB and the Hospice of the Good Shepherd.

  • 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.

SUMMARY The small medieval settlements of Over and Wharton, which lie 1.5km west and 0.75km east of the River Weaver respectively, have long since been subsumed by the expanding township of Winsford, which lies between the two on the banks of the river. Winsford’s prosperity was founded upon the exploitation of brine in the 18th and 19th centuries and the efficient transportation afforded by the Weaver Navigation.

With a focus on athlete engagement rather than competitive outcomes it made for a real feel of Competition 2 development throughout the week There were some firsts this year such as an event for reception and update year 1, with the balance festival, which saw nearly 200 children take part in activities to promote early Winsford Cluster 2 cycling skills. We also ran the Adventure! Run! Challenge! for teams of children from Y3-6,. Schools took Update part in team based challenges along a mile long course to test their problem solving and teamwork skills. On a baking hot day there was plenty of water to cool them down too! We also saw a first in terms of a new venue this year as Vale Royal Abbey Golf Club hosted our Tri-Golf competition. In the beautiful backdrop of the Abbey teams competed in yet more sweltering conditions and Charles Darwin won through to the County Final in both age groups. They went on to win the Coun- ty event at Y5/6, finishing in third place at Y3/4. The Russett also won Gold in the inclusive competition. Perhaps teams were ultimately inspired by the amazing venue! As ever it was an extremely hectic week but a most rewarding one as we saw huge numbers of children taking part in more than 20 events throughout the five day period!

  • THE VALE ROYAL COMPANY and ITS RIVALS P. W.King
    THE VALE ROYAL COMPANY AND ITS RIVALS P. W.King It is a surprise to some that so rural a county as Cheshire should have had an iron industry, but it did. Its history was told at length in these Transactions some thirty-five years ago by Mr B. G. Awty. 1 A few years earlier Professor B. L. C.Johnson published a detailed study for the period 1688 to 1712 of works in which Philip Foley was interested.2 One of the ironworks they referred to was Vale Royal Furnace, near Vale Royal Abbey, on the eastern side of Delamere Forest near Northwich and Winsford in central Cheshire. As we shall see, it belonged successively to two firms of ironmasters, one of which is well known from the work of Awty and Johnson, whereas the other has hitherto remained obscure. From the sixteenth to the mid eighteenth century, iron was produced by an indirect process using charcoal as fuel. Before that, it was made by direct reduction in bloomeries, a process that persisted in parts of Lancashire until well into the eighteenth century. 3 In the indirect process the ore (commonly referred to as mine) was smelted in a blast furnace using charcoal and the resultant molten iron was tapped at intervals and cast as pig (or sow) iron or into cast-iron goods. Afterwards the metal was taken to a forge and remelted in a hearth called a finery, in which the excess carbon was oxidized; the resultant bloom of iron was drawn out into bar iron under a water- powered helve hammer, being reheated as necessary in another hearth called a chafery.
