Egerton Arms

A little more about us

From the Egerton Arms you can explore some of the many walks across the beautiful green countryside, amble along the canal, play 18 holes at the stunning Astbury golf club. There are also easy commutes to some of the local historic towns and villages and a little further afield the Peak District National Park offers stunning views of the Cheshire and Derbyshire countryside. As stated we are directly opposite St Mary’s, a 13/14th century Anglican church, a building registered in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building. It is possible that a church was present on the site in the Saxon era, although the earliest fabric in the church is Norman. The present ground plan was established in the 13th and 14th centuries, from which time the church's external appearance dates, apart from a major rebuilding in the later part of the 15th century, when the range of high windows or clerestory was added. All styles of English Gothic architecture, are represented in the church.
