The Friends of St Alban's has been set up to repair, maintain and improve the church building and its grounds. It is separate from the PCC and as such will raise funds and spend money only on the structure and grounds. We are determined not to allow this building to go the way of its predecessor. If you have an interest in the preservation of the church, we invite you to become a Friend of St Alban's Church Building, Tattenhall.

In the 1970s, a group of young footballers were sent to football retirement by managers across the leagues for poor performances they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from middle aged slumber to a small Cheshire village. Today, still wanted by FIFA, they survive as soldiers of football-fortune. If you want a game, if no one else can play, and if you can find them, maybe you can join... The Tattenhall Vets...

Friends of Tattenhall (FoT) is a community group, formed in 2012 to consider and respond to several proposals for large scale speculative developments around the village. We continue to work to preserve the character and vitality of Tattenhall and believe that any future development should accord with the provisions of the Tattenhall Neighbourhood Plan (TNP) and the Tattenhall Village Design Statement (TVDS). The general aims of FoT are: 1. To work to maintain and enhance the involvement of the local community when the future development of the village is being considered. 2. To argue that any new development must comply with all relevant policies and provisions of the Tattenhall Neighbourhood Plan, the Tattenhall Village Design Statement and the CW&C Local Plan. 3. To support appropriate sustainable plan-led development proposals and oppose inappropriate schemes. 4. To provide an additional forum for residents to share and discuss information and views on planning issues. If any Tattenhall residents wish to be added to the FoT email circulation list, please contact Caryl Roberts at carylroberts@hotmail.co.uk

Tattenhall Wildlife Group was formed to meet the challenges faced by trying to protect wildlife in this part of rural Cheshire. Working at the local level means interacting with land-owners/land-managers and informing and educating our community about the loss of biodiversity and the far-reaching impact of climate change. Recent successful projects have been the planting of Jubilee Wood, the protection of Glebe Meadow and Barn Field (areas of 'unimproved grassland') which have been identified as 'green spaces' and sites of nature conservation value, coppicing areas of woodland that we manage, and Slowing the Flow of the Mill Brook (Phase I).
