	GENUKI: East Witton Parish information from Bulmers' 1890.
		Cunliffe Lister, Esq., Swinton Park, is lord of the manor, which is co-extensive with the two townships, and principal landowner.
		Witton was formerly a market town, its charter having been granted by Edward I., in 1306; but the privilege is said to have been lost during the prevalence of a plague which raged in the parish in 1563.
		The country people, being afraid to approach the town, the market was removed temporarily to Ulshaw, and, after the disappearance of the pestilence, the inhabitants of Witton were never able to re-establish it.

		Witton Albion itself can be traced back to a match played on October 26th 1887 No record of any matches has so far been unearthed for 1889 and one can only assume that this was the reason 1890 had long been regarded as when the current club was actually founded.
		Witton Albion entered the Northwich and District League in 1892 before quickly moving to the Crewe and District Junior League and then to the Cheshire League where their first ever championship was secured during the 1896/97 campaign.
		Witton were denied founder membership of the Northern Premier League due to the entry qualification relating to the season two prior to the formation and so had to battle on before eventually gaining promotion, when finishing Cheshire County League runners-up in 1978/79.
