Boothbank Farm

At the meeting of Reddy Lane, Millington Lane and Boothbank Lane, stands Boothbank Farm. Around 1747 John Wesley used to stay here and preach to the local community at the methodist chapel (see supplemental image). The chapel is long gone, and the M56 motorway now thunders over the spot where it used to stand.

St Mary, Rostherne

The parish church for the Tatton Estate village of Rostherne. The churchyard is slightly strange because all of the old memorials near to the church have been laid flat making it look a bit like a car park!
