Edwin Ridgeway
Born in Ashley, Cheshire in 1858 of farming stock and grew up at Lower House Farm, Mobberley and then Brookside Farm, Ashley. The then Lady Egerton, whilst Ridgeway was still a boy, employed teachers for the young of Rostherne at the local school, in order to help them possibly gain a trade when they grew up. The girls were taught needlework, and the boys woodcarving. Young Edwin took to wood carving as a natural, and was eventually to be asked to go to Manchester Art College as a wood carving instructor.
