Middlewich
There has been a church on this site since the middle of the 12th century. The only evidence remaining from this period are four pillars in the nave. The chancel and most of the nave were rebuilt in the 14th century. The tower, the Lady Chapel at the East end of the South aisle were added in the 15th century and the Kinderton Chapel, also known as the Bostock Chapel, was built in the 16th century. Gilbert de Venables was the first Baron Kinderton, holding his land under Hugh Lupus, Earl of Chester in the reign of William I. The oldest monument in the church is a brass plaque dating from 1591 which commemorates Elizabeth Venables, the wife of the then Baron of Kinderton. The chancel roof was provided by Sir William Brereton of nearby Brereton Hall in 1621. There are stained glass windows in the South Wall commemorating members of the Vaudrey family.

The church was at the centre of a Civil War skirmish in 1643. Colonel Sir Thomas Aston and Royalist forces took refuge in the church tower but the town was later captured by Sir William Brereton of Handforth, the Parliamentary commander. His relative, Sir William Brereton of Brereton was a Royalist. The church was damaged by cannon fire. At the time of the action, Sir Edward Mosley was captured. He had estates at Rolleston in Staffordshire and in Manchester. He had been made a baronet in 1640. He was released on condition that he took no further part in the war. His estates were sequestered and recovered on payment of £4,874. In other payments and loans he provided the Royalists with about £20,000. He died aged 41 in 1657 and is buried at Didsbury in the Mosley Chapel.

In 1809 the roof of the nave of the church at Middlewich was destroyed. It was replaced at the time but in the late 19th century was replaced again with an oak roof. There was a major restoration in the period 1857-8 during which alterations were made to the north aisle and Kinderton Chapel. The whitewash covered plaster on the interior walls was removed and the exterior walls were refaced.

In Lewins Street is the Victoria Technical Schools and Free Library in red brick and terracotta. It was provided for the town in 1897 by the Brunner family whose enterprise, Brunner Mond, became one of the founding firms of ICI in 1929. It has a series of tableaux showing the youth of Middlewich in 1897 studying arts, science and technology overlooked by an owl representing wisdom.

Brass Screen used by the Venables in St Michaels and All the Angels Church, Middlewich
This is a photo of the screen that was used by the Veneables during services. One of the oldest monuments in the church is a brass screen dated 1591 in memory of Elizabeth Venables, wife of Baron Kinderton. A Jacobean screen with the carved arms of the Venables family was originally at the entrance to the Kinderton chapel but is now inside the tower. source:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Michael_and_All_Angels,_Middlewich

Astbury Church
In the churchyard are 51 gravestones dating from the 17th century.[1] The most important monument is the canopied tomb of a member of the Venables family which dates from the late 13th century and which was formerly inside the church. It contains two figures, male and female, with their hands clasped in prayer. On the canopy are crocketed pinnacles which date from the 17th century. It is listed Grade II*[15] and is the only one of its kind in Cheshire.[1] Four other structures around the church are listed as Grade II. These are tombstones with weathered effigies to the north and to the south of the Venables tomb,[16] [17] an 18th century octagonal pillar standing on a two steps which were formerly the base of a cross dating from the 16th century,[18] and the yellow sandstone gateway to the churchyard dating from the 17th century which consists of an arch with crocketed pinnacles.[19] A yew tree in the churchyard is believed to be over 1,000 years old.[20] Saxon church was on the site at the time of the Domesday Book and it was replaced by a Norman church. It was originally the mother church of Congleton. The Norman church was almost entirely replaced by a building in the Early English style and this was in turn largely replaced in the 15th century.[2] It was restored in 1862 by Sir George Gilbert Scott.[1] During the civil war while Biddulph Hall was under siege, Sir William Brereton's Roundheads stabled their horses in the church. They damaged the medieval glass windows and removed some of the church furniture, including the organ source:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Mary%27s_Church,_Astbury
