  • The Breretons of Cheshire, England
    The Breretons of Cheshire Page 1 of 68 The Breretons of Cheshire, England Researched and Written by Faye Brereton-Goodwin, Ontario, Canada [email protected] Copyright © Faye Brereton-Goodwin 2001 (February 2018 revision) The Breretons of Cheshire Page 2 of 68 This history is part of a larger 2002 document, titled ‘In Search of My Ancestors” which I dedicated to my father Albert Lionel (Bert) Brereton who served in the Navy, during the First World War and as a Sergeant in the 3rd Canadian Infantry, Princess Patricia's Regiment, during the Second World War. He returned to Canada in 1945, on a hospital ship and died when I was eight years of age. Unable to learn about my Brereton ancestors from my father or his parents over the years I searched for links to the past; at times travelling to Brereton sites. My journey has been both fun and rewarding. On our first trip to England, in 1993, my husband Bob and I visited Royal Leamington Spa in England and saw the home of my Great Aunt Ina Glass at 2 Clarendon Crescent (my Grandmother Brereton- Smallwood also resided there until her death at the age of 101 years). We also visited Brereton Hall in Cheshire, England and met with the owners of the property Mary and Derrick Creigh. For many years, under their ownership Brereton Hall had functioned as a private girl’s school. However, by the 1990’s much updating was needed to continue as a school and the decision was made to return the hall to its original function, as a private residence.

These include climate change, moving to a low carbon and globalised economy and increased housing need. These challenges will need to be faced in a period of a slow growing national economy and much reduced levels of infrastructure investment by the Government. It will therefore be important to have a clear strategy to tackle these issues and to indicate how we want our towns and villages to change and grow. Your Place Your Future Your Say In autumn 2010, we consulted on options for the overall strategy for Cheshire East. We are following this up with the Place Shaping Consultation to look at the challenges facing our towns and villages and how these can be addressed in the new development plan for Cheshire East.

SUMMARY The modern town of Knutsford comprises three settlements: Nether Knutsford, Over Knutsford and Cross Town. Both Nether and Over Knutsford had medieval boroughs, and it is the borough of Nether Knutsford that is thought of today as the town’s historic centre. The town did not develop into an industrial centre; instead it became a desirable location for the residences of the affluent and aristocratic, and accordingly the town contains a large number of Georgian and Victorian buildings.
