Due to the location of the railway lines most of the people who use village stations in Cheshire live two or more miles from the station. I don't think vandals would walk that far just to break a ticket machine. They put cash machines in rural locations and they don't get vandalised.
By the way I'm saying that I don't think village stations have problems with vandalism in the same way that larger stations do. I'm not saying ticket machines should be installed at rural stations with few passengers, as they wouldn't be econmically viable.
