Congleton Wedding Venues

A fairly large town, formerly a County Borough located in central Cheshire on the main A34 trunk road. The origins of Congleton date back to the Stone Age with remains of a stone chambered tomb, known locally as the 'Bridestones', was unearthed on the road to Leek. Bronze Age artifacts have also been found suggesting that there was a settlement in the area. The River Dane which runs through the town, was almost certainly named in the 9th century by Scandinavian settlers, when Danes ruled much of the surrounding lands. Reliable Congleton history dates back to the Romans.
During the 16th century the town was an important centre for the manufacture of leather gloves and purses. During the Plagues of 1603 and 1641 Congleton was decimated along with much of he country.
The ancient custom of Rush Bearing was held annually in the town until the 17th century - usually held on major feast days.
Congleton's industrial heritage began around 1752 with the building of its first silk mill which employed around 500 local people. By 1755 ribbon weaving had begun and in 1785 a cotton spinning mill was opened in the town. Built in 1830, the construction of the Macclesfield Canal, which runs through the borough, had increased the profitability of silk and ribbon manufacture and Congleton had emerged as a prosperous industrial and county town.
By the latter part of the 19th century the silk trade was in depression and was largely replaced by the introduction of velvet cutting. Many of Congleton's mills still survive, no longer operative of course, but converted to the needs of modern light industries and businesses. The outskirts of the town are spreading as Congleton is perceived as a pleasant place to live within easy reach of the Staffordshire potteries as well as the Greater Manchester Conurbation.
