Antrobus is a civil parish and village in Cheshire, immediately to the south of Warrington. It is situated within the borough of Vale Royal.
The village shop[1] and post office is owned and run cooperatively by the villagers for the benefit of the community having previously closed in 2003.
The name derives from the Old Norse Eindvizh-buski, a personal name and the word for bush or shrub. In the Domesday Book, the area is referred to as Entrobus. An alternative derivation of the name is the Norman-French Entre-bois which can be interpreted as 'within the woods'.
Michael (Twisty) Twist, great great grandson of Charles Dicken's Oliver Twist grew up in the village of Antrobus.
