Haughton (or Haughton Moss) is a village to the north-west of Nantwich in Cheshire. The 2011 Census recorded a population of 204. It has four active farms.
About the village
The Nags Head public house, a half-timbered building dating back to 1629, is situated in the village. It closed at the end of 2019.[1]
A war memorial mounted on a brick plinth on Long Lane was originally from neighbouring Radmore Green chapel. It was rescued by local residents Derek Rogers and Tom Dawson when the chapel was converted to a dwelling. It is dedicated to those associated with the chapel and the village, who fought in the First World War.[2]
Every year, Haughton Hall gardens are opened to the public, featuring a medium-sized garden; filled with rhododendrons, azaleas, shrubs, a rock garden, a lake with a temple, a waterfall and a collection of ornamental trees.
Archaeology
A silver gilt crucifix just over an inch long was discovered in a field near the village in 2002. The artifact, likely to have been worn around the neck on a chain, was dated as late fourteenth or early fifteenth century by experts at the British Museum.[3]
