History

Adlington was a chapelry and township in Prestbury ancient parish. Youngs, F. A. (1991). page 5] It became a separate civil parish in 1866, and had slight changes to its civil parish boundaries in 1936. It was in Hamestan hundred, which later became Macclesfield Hundred and, later still, was assigned to be part of Macclesfield Poor Law Union and Rural Sanitary District. When Macclesfield Rural District council was established in 1894, Adlington became a civil parish within it. [Philips, A. D. M. and Philips, C. B. (2002). pages 10–11.] In 1974, local government re-organisation led to it becoming part of the Borough of Macclesfield.cite web|url=http://www.macclesfield.gov.uk|title=Macclesfield Borough Council website|accessdate=2008-04-04]

Adlington Hall, dating from at least the end of the 13th century, is located at the western end of the village. [cite web|url=http://www.statelyhomes.com/areas/details.asp?HID=15&ID=1443&path=12,16,57,1443|title=Adlington Hall|accessdate=2008-04-04]

Adlington made the news in January 2008, when a delivery vehicle shed 18 tonnes of mango chutney onto the road through the village. A spokesman for F Swain and Sons, the company which owns the lorry, said: "It was just one of those things." [cite web|url=http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/s/1033413_chutney_truck_in_a_pickle |title=Chutney truck in a pickle (Manchester Evening News)|accessdate=2008-04-04]

Governance

Adlington Parish Council, which administers the civil parish, is made up of ten parish councillors and one parish clerk. Adlington is in the Prestbury ward for the purposes of borough and county council elections, to which it sends two and one councillor, respectively. [cite web|url=http://www.election-maps.co.uk/electmaps.jsf|title=Elections Maps UK|accessdate=2008-04-04 Enter the details for Macclesfield Local Government Area.] The parish council sits each month, and at these meetings, the two borough and single county councillor will also often attend.
