Morreys Nursery, Kelsall - http://morreys-nursery.com/ now permanently closed
Heritage Apples, including heritage ones from Cheshire, collect from Vicar's Cross, Chester. An old List. They're also on Facebook.
I've a small selection of grafted trees, mainly Ingrid Marie, Kidd's Orange Pippin, Annie Elizabeth and Wallace Street. I've also got James Grieve, and local varieties temporarily named: Patti's Small Yellow, Station Road Red (from next to the Wisley Crab that was by Leicester Street roundabout in Northwich), Pipe Bridge, Blue Bridge Russet, Rhydymwyn.
You may be able to obtain scions for grafting from Old Trafford's orchard, http://otagsorchard.blogspot.co.uk/: I can assist with grafting. Another place for trees, stocks and scions is Leicester Heritage Orchard Project.
More distantly, Agroforestry Research Trust has a broad selection, and sell out quick: https://www.agroforestry.co.uk/.
Real Seeds offer organic seeds and plants, including species for the bold: http://www.realseeds.co.uk/.
Other Materials
Tools for green woodworking, and other hand tools: Ian Hough is based in Middlewich, buying and selling. Contact him on ian.hough2[at]btinternet.com, 07847 429367. I asked his assistant about sharpening a drill bit for a bit-and-brace: contact 3D Tooling in Bolton, they'll collect and return for a modest fee. www.3dtoolingltd.co.uk.
