Baron Congleton, of Congleton in the County Palatine of Chester, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1841 for the Whig politician and former Secretary at War and Paymaster of the ForcesSir Henry Parnell, 4th Baronet. His eldest son, the second Baron, devoted his life to religious work and was an early member of the Plymouth Brethren. The latter was succeeded by his younger brother, the third Baron. He served in the Royal Navy and fough at the Battle of Navarino in 1827. His eldest surviving son, the fourth Baron, was a major-general in the British Army and served in the Crimean War and in the Anglo-Zulu War. The latter's eldest son, the fifth Baron, was killed in action in Ypres Salient during the First World War and was succeeded by his younger brother, the sixth Baron. As of 2015, the titles are held by the latter's grandson, the ninth Baron, who succeeded his father in 2015.
The Parnell Baronetcy, of Rathleague in the Queen's County, was created in the Baronetage of Ireland on 3 November 1766 for the first Baron's grandfather John Parnell. He represented Maryborough in the Irish Parliament. His son, the second Baron, sat as a Member of the Irish House of Commons for Queen's County and served as Chancellor of the Exchequer in Ireland. His younger son was the aforementioned fourth Baronet, who was raised to the peerage in 1841.
Of unknown origin, the first recorded reference to the town's name was in 1282, when it was spelt Congelton. The element Congle could relate to the old Norse kang meaning a bend followed by the element the Old English tun meaning settlement.
History
The first settlements in the Congleton area were Neolithic. Stone Age and Bronze Age artefacts have been found in the town. Congleton was once thought to have been a Roman settlement, although there is no archaeological or documentary evidence to support this. Congleton became a market town after Vikings destroyed nearby Davenport.
Congleton was divided into 23 civil parishes and included no unparished areas. Of the 23 civil parishes, four were administered at this level of local government by town councils: Alsager, Middlewich, Sandbach, and Congleton; with the remainder having parish councils. There are two pairs of civil parishes that are grouped together so that they share a parish council. These are Hulme Walfield and Somerford Booths, whose single parish council is called "Hulme Walfield and Somerford Booths Parish Council", and Newbold Astbury and Moreton cum Alcumlow, whose single parish council is called "Newbold Astbury-cum-Moreton Parish Council".

The White Lightning band at Congleton Country Music Club on 25th of August 1994
We need your help! This video is of 'White Lightning' who were one of two support bands at Congleton CMC on 25th of August 1994. The other band (on a separate video) was 'Highly Strung'. The tape with these two support acts was separated in the 'archive' (for 'archive', read numerous banana boxes) from the tape of the main act. Who were the main act? Were you there? We can but guess by looking at the poster on stage. The poster is of Jody Stecher and Kate Brislin but were they the main act of the day? Certainly White Lightning sound very much Bluegrass and Highly strung seem folksy with a hint of country and bluegrass. Was it a blugrass day? There is a small prize for the correct info... Yep, you get to see the video here on Nicks YouTube country music channel if we can find and dig it out...

The Artist's House - Cheshire - 27.02.2021 - Urbex
here is the footage of my last explore at the farmhouse home of a late Medical Professor/Artist. I enjoyed this one, as it was a semi-time capsule with a lot of personal effects like photos, clothes and bedding left, as well as plates, crockery, etc and household items still in the cupboards, not to mention all of the artwork and sculptures, including an exhibition in one of the barns.
Also, it would seem that we was indeed joined on site by another urbexer on site, as when we was finishing up, a torch light was seen in the house, as we was on our way up the drive to leave.

Cheshire (/ˈtʃɛʃər, -ɪər/ CHESH-ər, -eer; Welsh: Sir Gaer), archaically the County Palatine of Chester, is a historic county in northwest England.
It is bordered by Merseyside and Greater Manchester to the north, Derbyshire to the east, Staffordshire and Shropshire to the south, and the Welsh local authorities of Flintshire and Wrexham to the west.
Cheshire's county town is Chester, while its largest town by population is Warrington.
Other major towns include Congleton, Crewe, Ellesmere Port, Knutsford, Macclesfield, Nantwich, Northwich, Runcorn, Widnes, Wilmslow, and Winsford.
The county covers 905 square miles (2,344 km2) and has a population of around 1 million.
It is mostly rural, with a number of small towns and villages supporting the agricultural and other industries which produce Cheshire cheese, salt, chemicals, and silk.
It is split into the administrative districts of Cheshire West and Chester, Cheshire East, Halton, and Warrington.
Cheshire's name was originally derived from an early name for Chester, and was first recorded as Legeceasterscir in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, meaning "the shire of the city of legions".
Although the name first appears in 980, it is thought that the county was created by Edward the Elder around 920.
In the Domesday Book, Chester was recorded as having the name Cestrescir (Chestershire), derived from the name for Chester at the time.
A series of changes that occurred as English itself changed, together with some simplifications and elision, resulted in the name Cheshire, as it occurs today.
Because of the historically close links with the land bordering Cheshire to the west, which became modern Wales, there is a history of interaction between Cheshire and Nort...
