Duck egg blue door and windows

Near Lawton Heath End, this former workman's cottage now gives a zing of colour even on a grey day. It's in deepest south Cheshire, almost over the Staffordshire border and near Stoke on Trent. The parish of Church Lawton contains the hamlets of Lawton Gate, Lawton Heath and Lawton Heath End, and the Lawton Hall estate, with a small population of around 2,200 people. There is evidence of human activity within the parish stretching back to the Neolithic period: a polished axe was found in the parish that was possibly made 300 miles away in Cornwall.
