| • | Appleton Thorn hosts the ࢀ&#-2622;awming the Thornࢀ&#-2592;each June. The ceremony dates from the Nineteenth Century, when it was part of the villageࢀ&#-2509; ࢀ&#-2601;alking Dayࢀ&#-2578; It involved children walking through the village and holding sports and games at the school. This now takes place at the Village Hall.
The ceremony stopped in the 1930ࢀ&#-2509;, but later revived by the then headmaster, Mr. Bob Jones in 1967. ࢀ&#-2622;awming the Thornࢀ&#-2592;occurs on the Saturday nearest to Midsummerࢀ&#-2509; Day. Local schoolchildren dance around the tree.
Appleton appeared in the Domesday survey as ࢀ&#-2619;peltuneࢀ&#-2592;and means ࢀ&#-2572;he tun where the apples grew.ࢀ&#-2564;br/>The Appleton Cross near Pepper Street, reminds us of a Warrington friar, in 1365, Richard de Apulton who was ordained as the sub-deacon at Colwich.
