Newbold Astbury
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Newbold Astbury (often just Astbury) is a village in Cheshire, in the north-west of England. It is situated to the south of Congleton on the A34 road to Scholar Green; the A34 forms one side of the triangular village green. The village is part of Newbold Astbury-cum-Moreton Parish, and of Congleton Borough.
Despite being much smaller, Astbury is an older settlement than Congleton and Astbury Parish originally included Congleton itself. The parish church of St Mary's sits at the apex of the village green and is in the Early English perpendicular style, built between the 13th and 15th centuries. Close to it is the successful Astbury St Mary's Church of England Primary School.
