My wife and I went to the Fete in 2009 and I think we have fallen in love with Midgley!

The Village is as beautiful as the residents are friendly.

We were so very impressed with how the group of teenagers we encountered were both friendly and helpful, a far cry from where we live at the moment.

In fact - we have a long term plan to move to Midgley!

I'd just like to thank everyone we spoke to for being so friendly - we hope to visit the next fete as I'm sure it will be as enjoyable as the last.

Take care Midgley - we'll see you soon.

I have recently learned that my ancestor Reuben Calvert, lived in Midgley in the mid-1700s. Two of his sons Jonathan and William went on to manage Wainstalls Mills - I am descended from the youngest son Timothy Calvert (1778-1845). I would be interested in hearing from anyone interested in the local history/genealogy so I can learn more about my Midgley roots!
