A sponsored Colour Run was also planned to raise money for a new sports multi-use-games-area. So many events have been put on hold as High Legh residents hunker down in their homes, but it’s amazing to see High Legh community spirit still shining through. Since the school gates closed on 20th March, a group of parents have set up an NHS Support Group to send home-baking, toiletries and uniform wash bags to local hospitals including the MRI and Wythenshawe. We’d like to continue donating over the next few weeks and months. If you enjoy baking or sewing and have some time to help, please get in touch with Emma Greenwood ([email protected]). Emma can give you more details of how to get involved. Donations can be delivered to certain drop-off points in High Legh, and local doctors/ nurses will take donations into work. Already the donations have brought smiles to the faces of many NHS staff who are working so hard and selflessly. Page 4 ©High Legh Community Association 2020 | Registered Charity No 511391 We’d also like to thank all the parents and children who helped serve refreshments at the High Legh 10K Race at the beginning of March. There were many visitors to the school that day who said how much they appreciated the warm welcome they received. Here are some photos of the day - they capture the High Legh community spirit which, despite current social distancing, is just as strong. Best wishes for 2020, Rebecca Booth and Emma Openshaw (Co-chairs of High Legh PTA) To keep in touch or contact the PTA: https://www.facebook.com/HighLeghPrimarySchoolPTA or email [email protected] ©High Legh Community Association 2020 | Registered Charity No 511391 Page 5 Page 6 ©High Legh Community Association 2020 | Registered Charity No 511391 ©High Legh Community Association 2020 | Registered Charity No 511391 Page 7 HIGH LEGH SUNDAY TEAS Easter Sunday would normally see the start of the High Legh Sunday Teas season and we would be looking forward to sandwiches, homemade cakes & puddings, scones, pavlovas and many more tempting delights. Teas are an opportunity for the various groups and charities from High Legh and the local area to display their baking skills and earn funds for their organisation. Sadly, like all events and gatherings, Sunday Teas have been postponed, and will not start again until the government restrictions are lifted and life gets back to normal. Afternoon tea was introduced into England by Anna, the seventhSTAY SAFE! Duchess of Bedford, in the year 1840. The Duchess would become hungry around four o’clock in the afternoon and started to take a pot of tea and light snack privately in her rooms and then she started to ask friends to join her. It proved so popular that the Duchess continued this when she returned to London where it was soon enjoyed by all fashionable society. Afternoon Tea is still a very popular activity which can be served simply at cafes and Village Halls or extravagantly at the Ritz and Claridges. I hope that in the forthcoming months you can all enjoy afternoon tea privately in your own rooms as originally taken by the Duchess of Bedford. 200 Club THEWINNERS 1 £75 125 J.Young 2 £50 15 M.

We hope you are all well and not finding the stay at home rules too restrictive. Is this the time to take the opportunity to do some overdue household jobs? For those who need help at this difficult time, the High Legh Street Champions Scheme is in place – see details in this Newsletter. We look forward to seeing you later in the year. Best Wishes Doreen & Trish Mike Walker It is with deep sadness that we report that Mike Walker passed away on 20th March. Over a period of four years Mike was Chair of the Village Hall Management Committee and then joint Chair of the High Legh Community Association Committee (CAC) before resigning in September 2019 for health reasons. We have Mike to thank for a lot of the improvements and innovations at the Village Hall and our lovely kitchen is just one example. Mike had a vision for the hall that would make it an attractive and valuable amenity for the Village and supported by a dedicated team he brought these ideas to fruition. Mike was proud of what he had achieved and has left a lasting legacy for the people of High Legh to enjoy. Mike was a valued friend and inspirational colleague of all of us on the CAC and he will be greatly missed. From Trish Adams on behalf of High Legh Community Association Doreen, Caroline and Lindsey would like to thank all our friends for the cards, flowers, plants, letters of sympathy, food and bottles of wine we have received at this difficult time. Mike was a wonderful and supportive husband and a very proud father. As we were only allowed a very small funeral, once the Village Hall is opened again we will have a celebration of Mike’s life.

  • Appendix 4 Detailed Proposals for Each Ward – Organised by Local Area Partnership (LAP)
    Appendix 4 Detailed proposals for each Ward – organised by Local Area Partnership (LAP) Proposed Wards within the Knutsford Local Area Partnership Knutsford Local Area Partnership (LAP) is situated towards the north-west of Cheshire East, and borders Wilmslow to the north-east, Macclesfield to the south-east and Congleton to the south. The M6 and M56 motorways pass through this LAP. Hourly train services link Knutsford, Plumley and Mobberley to Chester and Manchester, while in the east of this LAP hourly trains link Chelford with Crewe and Manchester. The town of Knutsford was the model for Elizabeth Gaskell's novel Cranford and scenes from the George C. Scott film Patton were filmed in the centre of Knutsford, in front of the old Town Hall. Barclays Bank employs thousands of people in IT and staff support functions at Radbroke Hall, just outside the town of Knutsford. Knutsford is home to numerous sporting teams such as Knutsford Hockey Club, Knutsford Cricket Club, Knutsford Rugby Club and Knutsford Football Club. Attractions include Tatton Park, home of the RHS Flower show, the stately homes Arley Hall, Tabley House and Peover Hall, and the Cuckooland Museum of cuckoo clocks. In detail, the proposals are: Knutsford is a historic, self-contained urban community with established extents and comprises the former County Ward of Knutsford, containing 7 polling districts. The Parish of Knutsford also mirrors the boundary of this proposal. Knutsford Town is surrounded by Green Belt which covers 58% of this proposed division. The proposed ward has excellent communications by road, motorway and rail and is bounded to the north by Tatton Park and to the east by Birkin Brook.

  • Hand-List of the Legh of Booths Charters in the John Rylands Library
    HAND-LIST OF THE LEGH OF BOOTHS CHARTERS IN THE JOHN RYLANDS LIBRARY. BY F. TAYLOR, M.A., PH.D. KEEPER OF MANUSCRIPTS AND ASSISTANT LIBRARIAN IN THE JOHN RYLANDS LIBRARY. documents listed below relate to the old Cheshire A family of Legh of Norbury Booths Hall, near Knutsford, and its estates from the late thirteenth to the early nineteenth century. They were saved from destruction 1 last century by the antiquary Richard Henry Wood (1820-1908), a scholar associated for many years with local history studies in Cheshire and Lancashire, and now form part of the large and important manuscript collection which he brought together from many sources. A general survey of this collection, which was deposited in the Library in 1940 by Captain J. Hatton Wood, has been given elsewhere,2 and it is perhaps sufficient here to notice that, in addition to the Legh charters, it is rich in monastic documents (twelfth-fifteenth century) and rare seals,3 and contains several royal grants (the earliest dating from the reign of Henry I), as well as a considerable number of miscellaneous deeds, mostly pre-1500, relating to some twenty-five counties. The Cheshire element of the Hatton Wood MSS., excluding the Legh charters, is comparatively small, numbering only thirty-six documents. Certain of these, however, are worthy of note, among them being eight thirteenth-century charters of the Abbey of St. Werburgh, Chester, five leases (1562-1647) from the Master and Brethren of the Hospital of St. John without the North Gate, Chester, a letter from Burghley to Edmund Gammell, late Mayor of Chester (Oct.
