Welcome to the Christleton Blog. This is the best place to check what is happening as I tend to mention here any new items or features to the website as and when they happen and give a link to where you will find them. But I would encourage you to click around the site and explore. You are currently in the main part and you will find links to two other main sections. The Christleton War Voices which has an immense amount of information about Christleton in World War I. The other is Christleton 3 which is rich in photographs and includes two regular monthly features. Wildlife Watch and The History File. Enjoy.
No charge for the many hours it takes building and maintaining the website but there are a number of other costs including hosting, domain registration and additional software which all add up. Just you starting your Amazon shopping by clicking on the banner above will help a lot. Thank you.
Christleton has won the Cheshire Community Council Best Kept Village Competition again, in the final year of the Competition. To read about how the village has entered and won many times over the years you will nee to read the November edition of The History File by David Cummings
If you are in touch with nature you cannot have failed to realize what an amazing year 2019 has been. That is the subject for Wildlife Watch for October by David Cummings. Enjoy a reminder.
You might pass it every morning going to work or you might walk the dog down there for an interesting stroll. A place to relax and enjoy the wildlife. Christleton is greatly favoured with the Pit. But do you know how it came to be there and why it always looks so cared for. A new booklet The Story of Christleton Pit by David Cummings is now available.
It started with a rampant plant. Continued on a coach with a gathering of lovely ladies. And a happy ending in a supermarket aisle. Just another Garden Ramble story.
There have been an amazing number of butterflies around this year. And that is the subject for the Wildlife Watch page for August by David Cummings. Flutter over there for a good read.
Continuing on from the July edition of The History File David Cummings has lots to tell us about the Christleton Show. Especially the one on Bank Holiday Monday held at Littleton Hall in 1949
Large number of great photographs taken by David Cummings at Christleton Village Show on 13th July are now online. Plus The History File this month starts off with an article about the history of the Village Show.
