Cheddleton is an ancient parish and village in the Staffordshire Moorlands, near to the town of Leek. ==History== The village is divided into two distinct communities - the traditional village and the modern Redrow development located at St. Edward's Park, on the grounds of the old St. Edward's Psychiatric Hospital. This extensive site has been redeveloped and many of the old listed hospital buildings have been renovated, including the old hospital water tower, the highest building in the surrounding area, which now serves as an impressive private dwelling. The traditional village is served by a handful of shops, a post office, 3 public houses, and two churches: St Edward's (Anglican) and St Andrew's (Methodist). The modern development has limited amenities, although there is a Latin American cuisine restaurant situated on the canal side, nearby. The village hit the headlines in March 2006 when a fire at a house on Hillside Road killed four people. The cause of the fire was quickly established as arson and eight months later a local man called Mark Goldstraw was found guilty on four counts of murder. He was sentenced to life imprisonment with a recommended minimum term of 35 years.〔(BBC News ) Man jailed for four fire murders〕 The village is twinned with Mitterteich in Germany. The twinning association holds regular meetings and exchanges between the two villages. Ashcombe Park in Cheadle Road is a Grade II listed stately house built by James Trubshaw between 1807 and 1811. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cheddleton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
