Treales, Roseacre and Wharles is a civil parish in the Borough of Fylde, Lancashire, England. It had a population of 492 at the 2011 Census. It lies two miles east of Kirkham and includes the villages of Bolton Houses, Moor Side, Roseacre, Treales and Wharles .
The village was called "Treueles" in the Domesday Book and "Turuel" in 1242.[1] At the time of the Norman invasion of England, it was held by Earl Tostig. It later came into the possession of the Earl of Derby.[1]
In Treales the Anglican parish church, Christ Church, is situated on Church Road. It was built in 1855 by Lord Stanley, when the Patron was the vicar of Kirkham.[1] The church is now part of a benefice with Christ Church, Wesham. The Derby Arms public house is situated on the corner of Kirkham Road and Church Road. The village has a windmill, now converted to a private dwelling.[2]
The village is called "Quarlous" in 1249 and "Warlawes" and "Werlows" in 1286.[1]
Wharles is the venue for the annual Fylde Vintage and Farm Show, which takes place in a field next to the M55 motorway.[3]
The village is called "Rasaker" and "Raysakur" in 1249.[1]
In February 2019, the government refused planning permission for fracking at Roseacre Wood. The application, by energy firm Cuadrilla, had been refused by the local council and was the subject of a public inquiry. The secretary of state said highway safety issues had not been "satisfactorily addressed" and refused planning permission.[4]
