James Balme St Mary s Church, Astbury has a long and rich history - Credit: James Balme The pretty village of Astbury, where the Roundheads did their worst. The village of Astbury near Congleton was one of the eight ancient parishes of the Macclesfield Hundred until 1835 when it became part of the municipal borough. A Roman settlement existed nearby in the 1st century A.D.   Mentioned in the Domesday book of 1086 was the fact a priest was resident at Astbury. There was no mention of a church within the village, however, the later discovery of stone fragments with possible Saxon carvings and coffin lids, as well as a base from an ancient stone cross point to the fact there was most probably an earlier Saxon church in Astbury between the 8th and 10th centuries. Today the Church of St Mary stands proudly overlooking the pretty village with the earliest parts of its construction dating to the 12th century. The tower we see today was built between the 14th and 15th centuries.
