These included a projected Topography of England, a fifty volume work the noted scholar William Lily, where he enjoyed the patronage of a certain Thomas on the Antiquities and Civil History of Britain, a six volume Survey of the islands Myles. From there he proceeded to Christ’s College, Cambridge where he graduated adjoining Britain (including the Isle of Wight, the Isle of Man and Anglesey) and an B.A. in 1522.

This project is part of a wider pan Cheshire audit of youth arts including; a separate document also for East Cheshire, a sub-regional and county wide audit in Cheshire as well as a report analysis recommendations for youth arts for the future. This also precedes the new structure of Cheshire’s two county unitary authorities following LGR into East and West Cheshire and Chester, which will come into being in April 2009 An audit of this kind will never be fully accurate, comprehensive and up-to-date. Some data will be out-of-date or incorrect as soon as it’s printed or written, and we apologise for any errors or omissions. The youth arts audit aims to produce a snapshot of the activity that takes place in West Cheshire provided by the many arts, culture and youth organisations based in the county in the spring and summer of 2008– we hope it is a fair and balanced picture, giving a reasonable impression of the scale and scope of youth arts activities, organisations and opportunities – but it is not entirely exhaustive and does not claim to be.

  • Wirral Archives Service Workshop Medieval Wirral (11Th to 15Th Centuries)
    Wirral Archives Service Workshop Medieval Wirral (11th to 15th centuries) The Norman Conquest The Norman Conquest was followed by rebellions in the north. In the summer of 1069 Norman armies laid waste to Yorkshire and Northumbria, and then crossed the Pennines into Cheshire where a rebellion had broken out in the autumn – they devastated the eastern lowlands, especially Macclesfield, and then moved on to Chester, which was ‘greatly wasted’ according to Domesday Book – the number of houses paying tax had been reduced from 487 to 282 (by 42 per cent). The Wirral too has a line of wasted manors running through the middle of the peninsula. Frequently the tax valuations for 1086 in the Domesday Book are only a fraction of that for 1066. Castles After the occupation of Chester in 1070 William built a motte and bailey castle next to the city, which was rebuilt in stone in the twelfth century and became the major royal castle in the region. The walls of Chester were reconstructed in the twelfth century. Other castles were built across Cheshire, as military strongholds and as headquarters for local administration and the management of landed estates. Many were small and temporary motte and bailey castles, while the more important were rebuilt in stone, e.g. at Halton and Frodsham [?] . The castle at Shotwick, originally on the Dee estuary, protecting a quay which was an embarkation point for Ireland and a ford across the Dee sands. Beeston castle, built on a huge crag over the plain, was built in 1220 by the earl of Chester, Ranulf de Blondeville.

  • Summary of Cheshire Moths: 2008-2013
    CHESHIRE (VICE COUNTY 58) SUMMARY OF CHESHIRE MOTHS: 2008-2013 Authors: Steve H. Hind and Steve Holmes Date: December 2015 Summary of Cheshire Moths 2008-2013 Introduction With the absence of an annual moth report for six years and following publication of the 2014 report earlier this year, we have attempted to bring together some of the main changes to the counties moth populations since the last county report for 2007. Individual Micro-moth reports were published for 2008 and 2009 in the Journal of the Lancashire & Cheshire Entomological Society, Volumes 133 & 134, for Sessions 2009 & 2010 of the Annual Report & Proceedings but this is the first report to include the counties macro-moths for those years. Unfortunately, the amount of work required to produce a similar type of document to the 2014 report would have taken well over a year or more to complete and as such a more selective approach has been taken; this translates to producing an account for just those species that have either: been reported on very few occasions, or have undergone significant changes, either in terms of distribution or population Summary No fewer than seven new macro-moth and 23 micro-moth species appeared for the first time in Cheshire during the period covered by this publication; an astonishing number brought about by Moth recording continuing to increase during the period, especially of micro-moths. We received a record 8,200 records of micro-moths in 2008, yet this more than doubled to 17,700 in 2013. There are a number of references, particularly within the accounts relating to macro-moths, where mention is made of either: the nth Cheshire record, or only ‘n’ records this century, or only ‘n’ Cheshire records To clarify these comments, they all relate to known, submitted, validated records within the County database.
