Read More	St. Mary's Church is in the village of Whitegate, Cheshire, England. It is an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Chester, the archdeaconry of Chester and the deanery of Middlewich. A chapel has stood on the site of the present church since the founding of the Cistercian Abbey of Vale Royal in 1277 (the Cistercian were known as the white monks and the name of the village at the gate of the abbey refers to this.) Directly across the road from the church is Vale Royal Drive which led to the former medieval abbey. The abbey was closed in 1538 during the dissolution of the Monasteries, and the site has undergone many changes since then. In 1715 the church was a wood and plaster structure in a ruinous condition, and around 1728 the church was rebuilt in brick, the aisles were widened, and the walls of the nave were raised to allow galleries to be built. The church's gateposts (which are crowned by balls) are dated to 1736. The iron gates themselves, were given in memory of Miss Emily Katherine Cholmondeley. The churchyard contains the war graves of two soldiers and a Royal Air Force officer of World War II. There is a chime of eight tubular bells that were set up to commemorate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee.
