## Church Street, Great Budworth
Church Street in Great Budworth, Cheshire, is a picturesque lane that has witnessed centuries of history. The earliest reference to a church in the village dates back to 1130, when the Augustinian canons of Norton Priory were granted the church and its living. They constructed the present St Mary and All Saints Church, with the Lady Chapel being the oldest part, dating from the 14th century. The rest of the church was built in the 15th and 16th centuries, featuring a Perpendicular style nave and a Decorated style north transept. In the 19th century, Rowland Egerton-Warburton of Arley Hall restored the church, returning it to its medieval state.
