GENUKI provides the following information

Sound was a township in the ancient parishes of Acton and Wrenbury in Nantwich Hundred which became a civil parish in 1866. The ancient parish church for the greater part of the township of Sound was St. Margaret's in Wrenbury. St. Mary's in Acton was the ancient church for the smaller part. Sound also has a Free Methodist chapel built in 1838 and a Primitive Methodist chapel built in 1875.

The hamlet of "Newtown" is one of many by that name in Cheshire, hence it is here referred to as Newtown in Sound.
