Great Boughton

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Great Boughton is a civil parish in the unitary authority of Cheshire West and Chester and the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England. It includes the villages of Boughton Heath and Vicars Cross. It had a population of 2,627 according to the 2011 census.^[1]

It is sometimes confused with the separate settlement of Boughton, which lies just to the west, within the boundaries of the city of Chester.

In the 1870s, Great Boughton was described as:

a township and a district in Cheshire. The township is in St. Oswald parish, and partly within Chester city; and lies on the Chester and Crewe railway, 1 mile E of Chester.^[2]

The total population of Great Boughton, Cheshire, as reported by the Census of Population from 1881 to 2011

Great Boughton is a parish that comprises the villages of Boughton Heath, Caldy Valley, Vicars Cross and a section of Huntington. Attractions include the Sandy Lane Aqua Park with ferry to Meadows, Caldy Valley Nature Reserve and Boughton Hall Cricket Club. Great Boughton came into the news when a controversial development at the disused Saighton Camp caused the building of a new roundabout. The roundabout now creates delays especially on the A41 where tailbacks frequently reach 2 Miles.-
