Audlem
Audlem (/ɔːdləm/ AWD-ləm) is a village and civil parish in the Cheshire East district of Cheshire, England. In 2021, it had a population of 1,832.
Audlem is approximately 7 miles (11 km) south of Nantwich, 8 miles (13 km) east of Whitchurch and 7 miles (11 km) north of Market Drayton. It is also close to the county border with Shropshire.
Audlem was mentioned in the Domesday Book in 1086 as Aldelime. By the late 13th century, St James' Church had been founded and Edward I granted it a market charter in 1295.
The arrival of the Shropshire Union Canal in 1835 was a significant development for Audlem. The canal boosted the local economy by facilitating the transport of goods and materials, particularly agricultural produce and coal. During this period, many of the village's distinctive Georgian and Victorian buildings were constructed. Audlem’s flight of 15 locks, designed by Thomas Telford, are a notable engineering feature. Though commercial activity on the canal virtually ceased in the 1950s, it is now an important source of tourism for the village. The canal continues to draw visitors and leisure boaters alike along the waterway itself and to walk the picturesque path.
In 2008 village residents launched an online referendum on moving the village to Wales from England – in a protest over prescription charges in England.
There are many historic buildings including Moss Hall is an Elizabethan timber-framed hall from 1616 one-half mile (0.8 km) from Audlem village centre.
Audlem has clubs for tennis, badminton, football, cricket, golf, pigeon racing (or pigeon-fancying), caravanning, bell ringing, rambling and bowls. Cyclists meet informally at The Tearoom at No.11. Audlem has a website, AudlemOnline. Saint James' Primary School is the only school in the village.
Audlem lies at the junction of the A525 and A529 roads in south Cheshire. The A525 road runs from Newcastle under Lyme and Woore from the east and Whitchurch from the west. The A529 runs from Nantwich in the north and from Market Drayton in the south.
