The parish church of St. Michael and All Angels, dates back to the 12th century. Middlewich rests on the confluence of three rivers: the Dane, Croco and Wheelock. Three canals also go through the town, the Shropshire Union, Trent and Mersey, and the Wardle canal, together with three significant roads and good motorway links to the nearby cities of Manchester and Liverpool. The population of the town at the 2011 Census was 13595. The town's population has doubled since 1970 in spite of a drop in the range of manufacturing jobs in salt and textile manufacturing, recommending that many of the new locals live in Middlewich for reasons besides regional work. Since 1990 there have actually been initiatives to increase the volume of tourism into the town, through occasions such as the yearly folk and boat festival, the Roman and Norman festivals, and frequent farmers' markets.
