Wistaston is a village and civil parish in the unitary authority of Cheshire East and the ceremonial county of Cheshire, North West England. It is sited approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) west of Crewe town centre and 3 miles (4.8 km) east of Nantwich. It has a population of 8,222,[2] reducing to 8,117 at the 2011 Census.[3]

History

In the Domesday Survey of 1086, the area was called Wistanestune and was a going concern having a population of 25 to 30 people, valuable woodland and arable land, and deer roaming about. It had been worth 30 shillings, but after William the Conqueror's devastation of Cheshire, it was worth just ten shillings in 1086. It was one of several local villages with the suffix ‘tune’ or ‘ton’ - meaning a ‘farmstead’.[citation needed]

Parish council

The Wistaston Parish Council comprises 15 elected councillors, five from each of the three wards of Wistaston (Wistaston Green, St Mary's, and Wells Green).[citation needed] The current Chairman of the Parish Council is Councillor John Moore.[citation needed] The annual Parish Council meeting, to which all local Wistonians are invited, is held in April each year in the Wistaston Memorial Hall.[citation needed]

Events held in the village each year include:

  • Village Fete (includes crowning of the Rose Queen, as well as Wistonian of the Year) - formerly held every year at St Mary's Church Rectory in mid-June. Since the Rectory grounds were sold to housing developers, the Fete has been held at Wistaston Church Lane Academy School[citation needed]
  • Flower and Vegetable Show - held every year at St Mary's Church Hall in August.[citation needed]

Sport

Wistaston Jubilee Tennis Club's 30th anniversary celebration

There are a variety of sports teams in Wistaston, including: archery, badminton, cricket, football, tennis and bowls.[citation needed]

Wistaston Sports and Leisure Association run the Eric Swan Sports Ground and Brittles Pavilion; the ground is located off Church Lane behind the primary school. The association was set up in 1997; it is an independent 'not for profit' organisation set up to encourage sport and leisure activities in Wistaston.[5]

Further reading

The village magazine, Roundabout, is circulated to over 4,000 homes within Wistaston four times a year.[6] It is distributed ‘round about’ Wistaston, hence its title.[citation needed] The 100th issue of Roundabout was published in spring 2006 - its 25th anniversary.[citation needed]
