About The Village

Holmes Chapel has developed from a small village at a cross roads. On the main route from London to Lancashire, it catered for travellers at its inns and served the surrounding farming community. In its infancy it was known as Church Hulme but has also been known as Hulmes Chapel. Today the name Church Hulme is mainly used for the ecclesiastical Parish of Church Hulme, made up of the townships of Holmes Chapel, Cranage and Cotton. A chapel has been a feature of the village since earliest times with a church present on the site from at least the 13th century when it was a chapel of ease to the mother church in Sandbach. The Parish Registers date from 1613 and some Bishops Transcripts from 1597.

The village built up around the cross roads and the church, forming The Square which was a focal point of the village with many social functions including fairs and a cattle market occurring there. That is how it remained for many years with a gradual development along the four arms of the crossroads.
