Baddiley, Cheshire, St. Michael. An unusual building, Chris explains:- "As is quite usual, the responsibility for repair of the chancel and nave are quite separate, though not always as visually striking as this. (Background: The rector was responsible for the chancel, and the parish for the nave. Sometimes for historical reasons a particular house in a village inherits the responsibility for repair of the chancel. A recent case (Aston Cantlow v Warwick) in the papers concerned a house-owner who found herself landed with a hefty bill for repair of the chancel. Baddiley church is no different from other churches concerning respective responsibilities". See also the Hinderwell, North Yorkshire entry. The chancel is timber-framed. Normally closed, but open on Saturdays from April onwards. SJ 605 503. Both © Chris Emms (2010). Link.
