Alvanley is a small rural village and civil parish near the village of Helsby, in the unitary authority of Cheshire West and Chester and the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England. It had a population of 472 according to the 2011 Census.[1] It is on the B5393 road and near junction 14 of the M56 motorway.
The village has a primary school,[2] a public house (the White Lion)[3] and a Grade II listed parish church dedicated to St John.[4] Alvanley Hall is a Grade II* listed farmhouse to the south-east of the main village, dating mainly from the 17th century.[5]
Cricket club
Alvanley Cricket Club, established in 1884, runs five senior teams and four junior teams ranging from under-9s to under-18s. The club came fifth in Division One of the Cheshire County League in 2000, but a fallow period saw them fall back down to the Meller Braggins League. In 2011 the club won the League unbeaten with a record 461 points and in doing so found their way back into the County league for 2012.[6] The Junior Section has in recent years begun to challenge for County Cups, without yet actually lifting one. 2008 to 2011 saw a period of investment in the club's infrastructure, rewarded by the award of prestigious games such as the Bunbury Festival and Cheshire County fixtures.
