Antrobus is a village and civil parish in Cheshire, immediately to the south of Warrington. It has a population of 832,[1] reducing to 791 at the 2011 Census.[2] The parish includes Frandley about one mile south west from the main village.
The village shop and post office is owned and run cooperatively by the villagers for the benefit of the community having previously closed in 2003.
Etymology
The placename is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as "Entrebus", and in the Pipe Rolls of Cheshire of 1282 as "Anterbus". The derivation of the name is from the Old Norse personal name "Eindrithi" or "Andrithi", with the Old Norse "buski", shrub, bush or thicket, the whole name thus signifying "Andrithi's thicket".
