High Legh History
A Memory of High Legh.
To the lady who went to High Legh School. The school mistress was Mrs James who lived on Wrenshot Lane in High Legh. She had two children.
Holly Cottage was recently up for sale, on the death of Mrs Hilton. The village continues to expand - we have lots of infill now around the old sites of both of the halls - East Hall and West Hall. The old Army camp was the last development and little remains of the old estates now. The church, St John's celebrated its 600th anniversary, last year and money was raised for a wonderful stain glass window.
Please email me if you would like more information - as to the 1891 census query: No 99 relates to the record number taken, NOT the number of the house! The Solans actually lived on Hobbs Hill Lane, in Hobbs Hill Cottage - and the cottage is still there. They came from Ireland (from memory) and lost several children. Our farm is just down the road from their cottage.
