This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.

2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about

Poynton is a village in the civil parish of Poynton with Worth, located in the [Macclesfield (borough), in Cheshire. It lies north from Macclesfield and south of Stockport. In the 2001 census, the civil parish was recorded as having a population of 14,433. 2001 census data

History The name of Poynton is of Old English language origin, but the settlement was omitted in the Domesday survey. The first mention of the manor of Poynton is in 1289 when it was part of the barony of Stockport.

The Warren family held the manor until 1801 when Sir George, the last surviving male, died. He was succeeded by his daughter, Lady Warren Bulkeley. She died childless in 1826 when she left it to Frances Maria Warren, Lady Vernon. The Lords Vernon held the estate until the final sale in 1920. Several halls were built on the site in Poynton Park, known locally as Poynton pool, with each one then demolished to make way for a new one. The last hall, Poynton Towers, was finally taken down in the 1930s. Sir George Warren bought the Worth estate in 1792, and Worth Hall, originally the home of the Downes family of Worth, is now Davenport Golf Club.

From the 1870s private house-building gathered pace and gradually Poynton became a commuter town for those working in Manchester. Since the Second World War several housing estates have been built by both the Local Authority and private developers.The population has risen from 5000 to over 15,000 since 1945. To accommodate the educational needs of the population, Poynton High School and several primary schools were established, these include St. Paul’s RC, Vernon, Worth, Lower Park and Lostock Hall.The village boasts a fine Gothic architecture-style church (St. George's) opposite a Victorian era fountain.

Industry Farming was Poynton's original main occupation, until coal was found near the surface of the land. By 1789, technology had advanced with the invention of engines to pump water from the workings, thus allowing deeper pits to be sunk, seen through the development of Anson Colliery (now the site of the Anson Engine Museum). Output in 1789 was over 26,000 tons rising to a peak production of 243,673 tons in 1859. The collieries closed in 1935 when the economically viable coal reserves had been exhausted.

Transport on the canal in Higher Poynton

Sir George Warren was a promoter of the extension of the turnpike trust from Manchester by way of Hazel Grove to Sandon, Staffordshire where it joined what is now the A51 road.

The Manchester and Birmingham Railway opened a stretch of line through Poynton in 1845 which today is the West Coast Main Line. There is a Poynton railway station on this line, offering local services mainly between Manchester and Macclesfield. The Macclesfield, Bollington and Marple, Greater Manchester Railway was opened in 1869, with stations at Higher Poynton and Middlewood, but it was closed in 1970. The line has now been developed into a pleasant route, called the Middlewood Way, for walkers, cyclists and horse riders.

A canal was originally proposed in 1765, but was not built until 1826 due to opposition from outside parties. Thomas Telford was the canal architect. Macclesfield Canal is considered one of the most beautiful stretches of waterway in the country, forming part of the Cheshire Ring. It is well used for leisure activities and there is a large marina at Higher Poynton.

Local Government Poynton is administered by a civil parish, Macclesfield (borough) and Cheshire County Council. The civil parish itself was created in 1880 by uniting the hitherto two separate civil parishes of Poynton and Worth.Youngs, F. A. (1991). Guide to the Local Administrative Units of England. Volume II: Northern England. London: Royal Historical Society. ISBN 0861931270There was controversy in the late 1980s when Poynton was forced to accept being part of the Postal code of Stockport, which local people feared (groundlessly, it turned out) would affect property prices.

Poynton has had a tradition of self help. Poynton cooperative was founded in 1862, staying independent until February 1992. There were many Friendly society, Burial Clubs, Working men's club and the Miners' Union. The Methodist Chapel was established in 1847 followed by the Baptists and Primitive Methodism chapels; together with St George's Church they were the social centres of the village.
