Chadkirk in the Cheshire Gardens Trust newsletter

The wonderful work done in Chadkirk’s walled garden was featured recently in The Cheshire Gardens Trust newsletter.

It was lovely to see Chadkirk featured in the Cheshire Gardens Trust newsletter for October 2022. The write-up covered the history of the chapel and the estate and included photos of the chapel, the well, the farmhouse and the statue outside the chapel.

Chadkirk remains something of a hidden gem in the Stockport area, so any coverage which introduces the chapel and the estate to a wider audience is very much welcome.

From the newsletter: The area around Chadkirk was already settled during the Anglo-Saxon period, but quite possibly earlier. Today, much of the land around Chadkirk is owned by Stockport Council. The site has been designated as a country park and local nature reserve. It sits on the east side of Stockport, close to Marple, just off the A627. There is a car park and the area around the chapel and into the woods can be accessed at all times. The chapel is open on the last Sunday of the month, 12 noon to 4pm, supported by a strong Friends of Chadkirk group.

From the readership’s perspective, the gardens are a key draw – and it’s the work of the Friends of Chadkirk which keeps the walled garden in wonderful condition all year around. All of the work is done by Friends, and by some stalwart volunteers who donate their time and energy to the upkeep of the garden.

Our thanks to the Cheshire Gardens Trust.
