Macclesfield: Can you get ten out of ten?

It's nearly Christmas, so we thought we would have a bit of fun and come up with a Macclesfield quiz!

These ten trivia questions are all about Macclesfield, so you can test your knowledge, and see how much you really know about our town.

Answer the questions below, and then find out your score by finding the answers at the bottom of this article.

Why not write your answers down on a sheet of paper, to see how many you'll get right. And no Googling!

How many points can you get? Feel free to let us know in the comments on social media.

So without further ado, here are the Questions...

  1. Who is the current Mayor of Macclesfield?
  1. In what year did the Domesday Book first record our town as 'Maclesfeld'?
  1. What is the name of the current Assistant Manager for Macclesfield FC?
  1. What was the name of the Macclesfield railway station which shut in 1960?
  1. Which 2007 biopic was set, and partially shot, in Macclesfield?
  1. Which former Macclesfield Hospital was cricket player and commentator Jonathan Agnew (1960-present) born in?
  1. First created for workers of the old Hovis Mill, on which Macclesfield street might you find the old air shelter and public building Morton Hall Community Centre?
  1. Who was Macclesfield's MP before current parliamentarian David Rutley?
  1. Macclesfield furniture store Arighi Bianchi was founded by Italian immigrants in 1854. But what Italian lake did the family live near?
  1. How old was Macclesfield painter Charles Tunnicliffe when he died?

And those were the questions.

We hope that was a fun little game you could play at Christmas.

Before we share with you the answers, please let us know how well you scored in the comments on Twitter or Facebook.

We'd also love to do another one of these as the news slows down over the festive period.

So do give us feedback on whether the quiz was too easy or too hard!

Thank you for taking part!

And Happy Christmas Macclesfield. Your support last year has been greatly appreciated.
