==History== thumb|left|Former Calveley station in 1990 Watfield Pavement, a stone road believed to have originally formed part of a Roman road from Chester to Chesterton in Staffordshire, passed through the parish. Originally held by the de Calveleys, the manor passed by marriage to the Davenport family in 1369. Their seat was at Calveley Hall. John Wesley is supposed to have visited the hall in 1749. The original hall was demolished at the end of the 18th century, and its replacement was also demolished in 1952.
