[edit] Landmarks
St Oswald's School in 1996
The grade-II-listed St Oswald's Church, founded 1873, is in Worleston village.[2] A major fire in 1997 damaged the roof, chancel and organ loft; the church has since been restored.[3][4] St Oswald's has been administered since 1991 as a united benefice, the Cross Country Group of Parish Churches, with St Mary's, Acton, St Bartholomew's, Church Minshull, and St David's, Wettenhall. It falls into the rural deanery of Nantwich and the diocese of Chester.[5] Since 2007, the vicar has been the Reverend Peter Lillicrap.[6] A magazine, Cross Country, is circulated across all four churches.[7]
St Oswald's CE Primary School (SJ652567) on Church Lane was originally Worleston National School and is still often referred to as "Worleston School". The present building dates from 1887, although there are records of the school as early as 1863.[8]
