*************

Great Sankey is a civil parish and suburb of Warrington, Cheshire, England. It is 2 miles (3.2 km) west of Warrington town centre and has a population of 24,211.[1]

The township of Great Sankey was originally a chapelry in Prescot parish in Lancashire. It became formally a separate civil parish in 1866, and it was transferred to Cheshire in 1974.[2] There was industrial growth along the banks of the Sankey Canal at Sankey Bridges during the 19th century but otherwise the area was rural.[3] In the 20th century the area became largely a residential area. RAF Burtonwood was built on the outskirts in 1939, and the land is now transformed into Chapelford Urban Village and the Omega Development Site.[3]

Governance

Great Sankey forms part of Warrington South constituency of the United Kingdom Parliament. It has three council wards for the election of councillors to Warrington Borough Council: Great Sankey South, Great Sankey North and Whittle Hall, and Chapelford and Old Hall. All are represented by Labour councillors.

The civil parish is governed by a parish council consisting of fifteen elected members.[3]

Religion

The Parish Church of the Church of England is in the Diocese of Liverpool and dedicated to St. Mary.[4][5] The nearest Roman Catholic church is in Penketh (St. Joseph's).[5][6] Similarly, the nearest Methodist Church is also in Penketh.[5][7]
