Background
History
Barthomley was an ancient parish within Cheshire. It contained five townships: Alsager, Balterley, Barthomley itself, Crewe, and Haslington. Of these, Balterley township and (now) civil parish was and is entirely in the neighbouring county of Staffordshire, and Crewe was later renamed Crewe Green to avoid confusion with the neighbouring unparished borough and railway town. All five townships were made separate civil parishes in 1866. Later on, the modern civil parish (now entirely in Cheshire) was part of Nantwich Rural District. The fantasy novel Red Shift, by Alan Garner, is largely concerned with the Barthomley massacre. There was also a medieval Knights Hospitaller Chapel at Barthomley.…
