Weaverham has Saxon origins, the name means the village near the winding river (the nearby river Weaver). The crossing of the river is likely to be why the village was formed in the first place. Weaverham remained a quiet village for centuries though grew notably in the 1930s due to an influx of workers for an ICI facility.
Weaverham's parish church is dedicated to St Mary. The tower dates from the 15th century, much of the rest from the 16th, though there has been a church on the site since Saxon times.
Weaverham has no railway station of it's own but is a short walk away from Action Bridge station
