  • Village Introduction, History and Landscape
    Village Introduction, History and Landscape Nestling in the Cheshire countryside, the Village is generally regarded as one of the most pleasant places to live in the UK offering an outstanding quality of life, this is due to the wide range of facilities on offer, beautiful surrounding countryside, superb commuter links, and friendly community feel. Holmes Chapel, also known as Church Hulme, was originally named Hulme, derived from Hulm or Holm, meaning rising ground. Holmes Chapel lies just South of the river Dane and many properties in the area enjoy views over the river plain. At the heart of the village is the historic church of St Luke, this is only one of three buildings to survive the great fire of 1753, evidence of the scorching can still be seen on the lime trees within the churchyard today. Since then the village has been re-built and expanded and over the course of time many new houses have appeared and spread the population over a wide area. The majority of housing was constructed since the late 1960s, however a good proportion of property towards the town centre is Victorian/Edwardian. There are two impressive local landmarks in the area: A testament to the Victorian era in the form of the Holmes Chapel railway viaduct, built in 1840, which dominates the landscape at Twemlow. The Jodrell Bank telescope can be seen for miles around, located on the Cheshire plains just outside Goostrey, it is currently Europe's largest radio telescope and responsible for many astronomical discoveries. Holmes chapel offers far more than one might

Special thanks go to our Postie Ray for his advice and support, without which this project could not have been achieved. I am grateful to all the residents who took the time to share their concerns and ideas by participating in the survey.
