Mellor was Derbyshire, then Cheshire, but now it's Greater Manchester's
Situated in the furthest reaches of Stockport, just on the edge of the Peak District, lies the village of Mellor. Originally part of Derbyshire, and then Cheshire, before forming part of Greater Manchester in the 1970s, this ancient village, just past Marple Bridge, is only a 30-45 minute car journey from Manchester, but feels like another world with stone cottages and rolling hills.
There is more history to be discovered in the village too. St Thomas’ Church, sitting at the top of the lane overlooking the village, stands on the remains of an Iron Age hillfort and also houses the oldest wooden pulpit in England, dating from the reign of Edward II. While the village, with its idyllic surroundings and stunning views, does not have any of its own shops, it does boast three public houses. Sitting just a few hundred yards from the border with Derbyshire, and known for its top selection of cask ales and locally sourced grub, is Oddfellows.
