  • Press Release March Weaverham High School
    PRESS RELEASE MARCH WEAVERHAM HIGH SCHOOL AWARDED CHAMPION STATUS Weaverham High School have been awarded champion school status for their involvement in National Citizen Service (NCS), a government-backed youth programme for teenagers. Weaverham High School received the status in recognition of the continued support given to the scheme, encouraging more than 50 students to take part in NCS, which helps young people develop a broad range of skills that have life-long value, such as leadership, team working, confidence, independent thinking and community responsibility. NCS is delivered in Cheshire West and Cheshire East by Youth Federation, a charity based in Ellesmere Port who are dedicated to improving the lives of young people and enabling them to thrive, regardless of their background or circumstance. “We’re delighted to offer ongoing support for NCS as we believe it plays a vital role in the development of our students as they transform into adulthood,” said Ann-Marie Morgan, NCS Area Manager at Youth Federation. Each of the Schools have been awarded the certificate, signed by the Prime Minister, from former NCS graduates at a special ceremony to mark the achievements of each champion school in the region. The graduate presenters, who hosted the event throughout, enthusiastically outlined the positive impact that NCS had on them and what they had gained by taking part. NCS is an opportunity open to all 16 and 17 year olds across England. Over the course of four weeks, participants spend time away from home experiencing outdoor life to its full, working with local businesses and charities to build new skills.

    The Weaverham Clan Last Updated 28th December 2020 ©2020 Ray Warburton Table of Contents Preface -- Weaverham 2 Surnames 3 Descendants of Peter Warburton & Elizabeth Smith First Generation 4 Second Generation 5 Third Generation 8 Fourth Generation 14 Fifth Generation 25 Sixth Generation 41 Seventh Generation 47 Place Index 51 Person Index 60 1 PREFACE This clan is closely linked to the Hale Barns Clan by DNA, and probably diverged after the family were established in Hale. It appeared in Grappenhall but moved to Weaverham, near Northwich, Cheshire, and then spread to places such as Daresbury, Preston Brook, and Thelwall, near the Lancashire border. A new branch, added in 2020, was originally attached to the Partington Clan, but this was discounted, and further investigation revealed a probable link to the Weaverham Clan. A descendant of the clan was Adrian Warburton whose exploits are described in Warburton's War: The Life of Wing Commander Adrian Warburton, DSO, DFC by Tony Spooner.

  • Four Centuries of Cheshire Farming Systems, 150O-1900
    FOUR CENTURIES OF CHESHIRE FARMING SYSTEMS, 150O-1900 BY G. E. FUSSELL, F.R.HIST.S. 'T'HERE are records of the goodness of Cheshire cheese for _L nearly a thousand years, but some of the earliest are a trifle legendary. Having been a dairy and cheese-making county for so long it is one of the few counties where farming changed very little between Tudor and Victorian days, but that does not mean either that methods have always been the same or that the same area was occupied by farm land four and a half centuries ago. Wide areas have been reclaimed from the wild here as elsewhere. Marling was a method of fertilising the soil practised by the Romans. It is believed to have fallen out of use in this country during the Middle Ages, but not in Cheshire. When Leland tra­ velled in Shropshire, Cheshire and Lancashire he found marl was used to ameliorate the poor sandy soils in those three counties, and in particular noticed the amazingly good results round Mr. Spur- stow's house in Cheshire where he saw "marvellous good corne and pastures". At Mr. Booth's place there "by good culture is made veri good corne ground, wher sometime was very ferny and commune ground", (1) so already some farmers, or landowners of Cheshire were, all unwittingly no doubt, in the forefront of the advanced farming of their day. This was perhaps because farms in Cheshire were largely reclaimed from scrub woodland, peat moss or marsh, or some hill land on the border of Derby.
