On these very early maps and deeds the name is also written as "Kilcheth," "Kylchith," and "Kilshaw." It is believed to derive from the Cumbric, 'at the edge of a wood,' 'black wood' or 'retreat in a wood.', although the less likely Anglo-Saxon alternative, 'shoe-shaped heath' has also been suggested. Another suggestion is that the name is Norman, from one of the families who settled in the area. Four families settled in the region, including the de Culcheths, de Risleys and de Holcrofts, and each contributed part of their crest to the crest of Culcheth. The area is known to have been established before or around the time of the Norman invasion, from its mention in the Domesday Book. Culcheth Hall was latterly owned by the Withington family until its demolition after World War II. The infamous Colonel Thomas Blood, who nearly succeeded in stealing the Crown Jewels, was married at Newchurch Parish Church, and resided for a while at Holcroft Hall on Holcroft Lane. Until 1974, Culcheth was in Lancashire but was moved into Cheshire by the local government reorganisation. On 1 April 1998, the Warrington unitary authority was created of which Culcheth is a part. Governance A parish council for Culcheth and Glazebury[2] operates as part of the Warrington Borough Council covering the matters the borough has delegated to the parish councils within Warrington Transport Road One of the reasons for Culcheth's popularity as a place to live is its proximity to the main road links into Warrington (A574), and the M62 motorway into Liverpool and Manchester. It is also accessible via Common Lane, the B5207 from Lowton, linking up to the A580 East Lancashire Road, and Holcroft Lane, the B5212 which meets the A57 Warrington-Manchester road near to Warburton Bridge.

A combined 15 minute frequency is provided by services 19 and 28/28A on Monday to Saturday daytimes, with a combined 30 minute frequency on evenings and Sundays. The two services operate via the same route to Leigh, but the route to Warrington alternates between Croft/Winwick (service 19) [3] and Birchwood/Padgate (service 28/28A) [4]. Rail Between 1884 and 1964, Culcheth was served by two railway stations on the Great Central Railway (GCR) line from Manchester Central between Glazebrook and Wigan Central railway station. These were Culcheth railway station and Newchurch Halt.[5] Both were closed to passengers on 2 November 1964 as part of the Beeching Axe.[6]. Between 1878 and 1958 there was an additional station at Glazebury on the original Liverpool and Manchester Railway route from Liverpool Lime Street to Manchester Exchange. The former trackbed of the GCR route has been turned into Culcheth Linear Park, with the Park HQ situated on top of Culcheth Station foundations. The nearest operating train stations are now at Birchwood and Glazebrook, both on the line from Liverpool Lime Street to Manchester Piccadilly.
