Antrobus, Cheshire
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Antrobus is a village in Cheshire, immediately to the south of Warrington.
The village shop 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.
