Article needs to be massively expanded using Wikipedia:WikiProject UK geography/How to write about settlements as a guide.
It should make use of sections, using Wikipedia:WikiProject UK geography/How to write about settlements as a guide.
~~Infobox to be added (use Template:Infobox UK place.)~~ Added 4 December 2015.
Photos need to be added.
References and Citations are crucial for wikipedia, and so these must be added as the article is expanded. Make sure that as many as possible are "in-line" citations.(See WP:References, WP:V, and WP:CITE for guidance.)

Stretton--northern Cheshire or southern Cheshire?

Latest comment: 9 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Stretton, Warrington has the co-ordinates 53.3381N 2.5775W.
Stretton, Cheshire West and Chester has the co-ordinates 53.3422N 2.5736W.

I compared them by location on Google Earth and found they are not very far apart. The surrounding villages are all the same.

There is another Stretton in Cheshire which should really be Stretton, Cheshire West and Chester. It is located near the town of Malpas and has the co-ordinates 53.0689N 2.8244W.

In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Stretton like this:

"STRETTON, a township in Tilston parish, Cheshire; 4¼ miles N W of Malpas. Acres, 900. Real property, £1,278. Pop., 94. Houses, 18."
