[edit] History

Crewe Green (at the time, known as Crewe) was originally a township within the ancient parish of Barthomley. It was made a separate ecclesiastical parish in 1857, and a separate civil parish in 1866. It also lay within Nantwich Hundred, Nantwich Poor Law Union, and Nantwich Rural Sanitary District. Later on it was part of Nantwich Rural District. Small changes to its boundaries were made in 1936.[4] In 1974 local government re-organisation saw it become part of the borough of Crewe and Nantwich. The parish was also renamed in 1974 (from Crewe to Crewe Green) to avoid confusion with the neighbouring borough.[2]

[edit] Geography

The Crewe–Alsager railway line and the B5077 run east–west through the parish.

[edit] Landmarks

St Michael and All Angels Church stands in Crewe Green village.[2] The Jacobean mansion of Crewe Hall, now a hotel and restaurant, is located in the parish; its park contains deciduous woodland including Rookery Wood.
