The Trent and Mersey Canal is a 93 1/2 mile (150 km) canal in Derbyshire, Staffordshire and Cheshire in north-central England. The Trent and Mersey Canal (T&M) was built to link the River Trent at Derwent Mouth in Derbyshire to the River Mersey, and thereby provide an inland route between the major ports of Hull and Liverpool. The Mersey connection is made via the Bridgewater Canal, which it joins at Preston Brook in Cheshire. Although mileposts measure the distance to Preston Brook and Shardlow, Derwent Mouth is about 1 mile (1.6 km) beyond Shardlow.

The first name John has been widespread since biblical times, and so it should come as no surprise to find a whole series of blesseds and saints bearing this name over the two millennia of Christianity. At the threshold between the Old and New Testaments, we encounter John the Baptist (also John Baptist), to whom most churches dedicated to John are dedicated. But one of the four men who wrote the New Testament Gospels also bears this name. This church in Sandbach Heath is dedicated to him, Saint John the Evangelist. A long-standing church tradition has considered the Evangelist to be identical with the apostle John mentioned in the Bible, but this is disputed in biblical scholarship. "The Gospel of John exerts a peculiar fascination. It is difficult to escape its solemn, at times mystical language. It speaks to deep human needs and longings: hunger and thirst, the search for fulfilling eternal life, the longing for personal communion with God." (Franz-Josef Ortkemper)

The two lodges joined by an archway. Even though there was no clear sight of the hall, Brereton Hall is a splendid building completed around 1600 on the site of an earlier hall. It was modelled on a hall at Rock Savage near Clifton, Runcorn where Sir William Brereton, an orphan, was raised. The Brereton family lived here until 1722 when the male line died out. It was taken over as a private school during World War II. It is now privately owned and is not open to the public.
