Macclesfield
Macclesfield is a market town in Cheshire, England. The population of Macclesfield at the 2011 census was 52,044. A person from Macclesfield is sometimes referred to as a "Maxonian".〔 "Maxonian" was originally coined to identify a group of alumni of King's School, Macclesfield at Oxford University as a portmanteau of Macclesfield and Oxonian, which was then applied to residents of the town in general.〕 Macclesfield, like many other areas in Cheshire, is a relatively affluent town.〔(macclesfield express ) town_flying_high〕
==Toponymy==
Situated in the ancient Hundred of Hamestan, the ''Domesday Book'' records the town as "Maclesfeld" and in 1183 it was referred to as "Makeslesfeld".〔Scholes (2000). page 104.〕 The English Place-Name Society gives its name as being derived from the Old English name, ''Maccel'' and field meaning `Maccels' open country'.
Although "Silk Town" seems to be its preferred nickname, the traditional nickname of Macclesfield is "Treacle Town".
This is reference to an historical incident when a horse-drawn wagon overturned and split its load of treacle onto the street, whereby the poor scooped this off the road.
