Welcome to Tabley

Tabley Superior is an English civil parish within the unitary authority of Cheshire East

The Parish of Tabley is split into to two districts namely, Tabley Superior and Tabley Inferior. Many believe the origin has been attributed to the name of a local Anglo-Saxon called Tabba . The fact that the land levels out to a plateau or ‘tableland’ is another suggestion, which seems more likely. However, the secretary of St Paul’s believes that ‘stabulis’ may also a good contender, as Tabley, where the two Roman roads, Watling Street and King Street cross each other, would be an obvious place to keep horses – hence ‘Stabley‘. The income for Tabley came from the rich and fertile Cheshire land, which at one time was said to have the biggest milk yield in Europe. Cheshire cheeses lasted a long time, and had the reputation of being on every ship sailing out of England!
