Audley Rural
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Audley Rural is a parish of Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England, located four miles to the north-west of the town of Newcastle-under-Lyme. It is predominantly a rural area, of which Audley is the centre.
The parish elects councillors to Newcastle Borough Council for the villages and areas of: Audley and Bignall End; Chesterton; Halmerend; Madeley; Silverdale; and Talke.
Audley village has seen national media coverage in recent years, due to Denise Leigh, a local blind amateur singer, winning the Operatunity television programme, and becoming an opera singer [1]. The village is also the home of acclaimed graphic novelist Andi Watson.[2]
The parish was created in 1932 by a split of the previous Audley parish, much of which went to form the Talke parish.[3]
