**Balterley** is a village and [civil parish](/source/Civil_parish) in the [borough of Newcastle-under-Lyme](/source/Newcastle-under-Lyme_(borough)) in [Staffordshire](/source/Staffordshire), England. According to the [2001 census](/source/2001_United_Kingdom_census) it had a population of 204,[1] increasing to 221 at the [2011 census](/source/2011_United_Kingdom_census). The parish borders [Cheshire](/source/Cheshire) to the north, and the village is about six miles south-east of [Crewe](/source/Crewe) in Cheshire.

Balterley originally was a [township](/source/Township) within the ancient parish of [Barthomley](/source/Barthomley), which mainly lay over the Staffordshire and Cheshire border in Cheshire. On the re-organisation of this ancient parish in 1866, the parish was formed, leaving Barthomley civil parish entirely in Cheshire.[2] In 1965, there was a minor change in the county border of Staffordshire with Cheshire, with Balterley parish exchanging small areas of land with [Weston](/source/Weston,_Cheshire_East) civil parish (in the [Cheshire East](/source/Cheshire_East) area). Additionally, some land was lost to [Chorlton](/source/Chorlton,_Crewe_and_Nantwich) civil parish, also in Cheshire East.[3]
