Celebrating the Completion of Major Restoration Works at Sandbach Almshouses

The Chair of Holmes Chapel Parish Council, Cllr Diane Tams, and Vice-Chair, Cllr Chris Jackson, were delighted to attend a special event celebrating the completion of a major renovation project at Sandbach Almshouses.

The project has seen the replacement of roofs and porches across the historic properties, which date back to the 1860s. As Grade II listed buildings, the Almshouses require carefully managed and sensitive renovation work to preserve their historic character.

The properties are managed by the Sandbach Almshouse Charity and are available to rent by eligible applicants who must have connections to Sandbach and its surrounding ancient parishes, which include Holmes Chapel.

Although all properties are currently occupied, applications are welcomed from residents of Holmes Chapel and the surrounding area. Eligible applicants can be added to the waiting list, subject to meeting the relevant age and financial criteria.

Further information about the Sandbach Almshouses, eligibility criteria and how to apply can be obtained from the Clerk of the Almshouses by emailing clerk.sandbachah@gmail.com
