| Events in Audlem
Audlem is a beautiful rural village set within the heart of the picturesque Upper Weaver Valley in the County of Cheshire. This ancient village which is full of charm has attractive cottages, and houses, and is home to just over seventeen hundred people. It was granted its market charter in 1296 by King Edward I, and although the market has long since gone, visitors will still find the Market Hall which was built in the 18th Century, and nearby there still remains the Bear Stone, where Bears were tethered, and baited in times past. At the centre of the village stands St James's church which dates back to the 13th Century, and there are shops, restaurants, and three pubs to enjoy. In 1827 the Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal was built which merged with the Chester Canal, and flows through the village where a large amount of colourful narrow boats can be seen, although it is now called the Shropshire Union Canal; nearby a stroll along the tow path will reveal Audlem Mill where visitors will definitely be tempted with fine needlework, art and gifts on offer. This multi award winning village is perfectly placed just a mile or so from the Cheshire, Shropshire border, and is surrounded by rich countryside.
