Welcome to the Barnton Village Website, which is maintained and hosted by Barnton Parish Council. Barnton is a pleasant, large village located within the unitary authority of Cheshire West and Chester. The village lies to the north of both the Trent-Mersey canal (part of the famous Cheshire Ring) and the River Weaver, and around 2 miles to the north-west of the town of Northwich. The village has a long, rural history, but grew rapidly in the 1800s thanks to the success of the Brunner Mond company (who occupied a large site in neighbouring Winnington) and who built hundreds of houses for their workers here. The village now boasts an excellent range of local amenities and is within easy reach of the A49, M56 and M6 making it popular with commuters to Liverpool, Manchester and Chester. It is surrounded by wonderful Cheshire countryside and enjoys an enviable location on some of Cheshire’s most attractive inland waterways.

Mrs Judith Hughes, 12 Astbury Drive, Barnton
I’ve lived in Barnton all my life, and went to both Barnton Church of England
School and Secondary Modern School. When I initially left school I worked at
Roberts Bakery and Winnington Hall Club, however in 1977 I started work as
a bus driver working for both Crossville and Arriva where I was a union
representative for a number of years.
In 1995 I passed my test as an advanced commercial driver with Arriva in 2000
I was made a driver supervisor at Arriva Winsford depot. In 2002 I won bus
driver of the year, and participated in the regional finals in Blackpool. In 2007
I retired from Arriva after 30 years . This gave me the opportunity to devote more time developing my hobbies whilst also spending more time with my family , husband Robert of 41 years, son Philip daughter-in-law Mel and my two granddaughters Hayley and Jessica.
