Reliques of the Anglo-Saxon Churches of St. Bridget and St. Hildeburga, West Kirby, Cheshire
RELIQUES OF THE ANGLO-SAXON CHURCHES OF ST. BRIDGET AND ST. HILDEBURGA, WEST KIRKBY, CHESHIRE. By Henry Ecroyd Smith. (BEAD IST DEOBMBEB, 1870.) THE Parish of West Kirkby (now West Kirby), lying 18 miles N.W. of Chester city, is one of the most important in the hundred of Wirral, and occupies the whole of its north western angle. Dr. Ormerod describes its first quarter as comprising the townships of West Kirkby and Newton-cum- Larton, with that of Grange, Great Caldey or Caldey Grange ; second, the townships of Frankby and Greasby ; third, those of Great and Little Meols, with Hoose ; fourth, the township of Little Caldey.* Originally Kirklye, or, settlement at the Church, it became " West Kirkby," to distinguish it from "Kirkby-in-Walley," at the opposite corner of the peninsula of Wirral, now com monly known as Wallasey. Each of these extensive parishes possessed two Churches, those of Wallasey lying the one in Kirkby-in-Walley, the other on the Leasowes and near the sea, which ultimately destroyed it and engulphed the site together with that of its burial-ground. For further informa tion on this head, Bishop Gastrell's " Notitia," Dr. Ormerod's " History of the County,"\ and Lyson's " Cheshire,"% may be consulted. Gastrell's Notitia. The last now simply bears the name of Caldy. t II, 360. Heading of Moretou. { Page 807. 14 The Churches of West Kirkby were situate, the parish Church at the town proper, the other, a Chapel of Ease, upon Saint Hildeburgh's Eye, i.e., the island of St. Hildeburga, which had become insulated through the same potent influence which had wrecked the Chapel, as Bishop Gastrell calls it, upon the Leasowe shore.

EDUCATION of POOR GIRLS in NORTH WEST ENGLAND C1780 to 1860: a STUDY of WARRINGTON and CHESTER by Joyce Valerie Ireland
EDUCATION OF POOR GIRLS IN NORTH WEST ENGLAND c1780 to 1860: A STUDY OF WARRINGTON AND CHESTER by Joyce Valerie Ireland A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy at the University of Central Lancashire September 2005 EDUCATION OF POOR GIRLS IN NORTH WEST ENGLAND cll8Oto 1860 A STUDY OF WARRINGTON AND CHESTER ABSTRACT This study is an attempt to discover what provision there was in North West England in the early nineteenth century for the education of poor girls, using a comparative study of two towns, Warrington and Chester. The existing literature reviewed is quite extensive on the education of the poor generally but there is little that refers specifically to girls. Some of it was useful as background and provided a national framework. In order to describe the context for the study a brief account of early provision for the poor is included. A number of the schools existing in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries continued into the nineteenth and occasionally even into the twentieth centuries and their records became the source material for this study. The eighteenth century and the early nineteenth century were marked by fluctuating fortunes in education, and there was a flurry of activity to revive the schools in both towns in the early nineteenth century. The local archives in the Chester/Cheshire Record Office contain minute books, account books and visitors' books for the Chester Blue Girls' school, Sunday and Working schools, the latter consolidated into one girls' school in 1816, all covering much of the nineteenth century.

POINTERS TOWARDS the STRUCTURE of a Study Has
POINTERS TOWARDS THE STRUCTURE OF AGRICULTURE IN HANDBRIDGE AND CLAVERTON PRIOR TO PARLIAMENTARY ENCLOSURE EJ. W.Higson A study has already been made of the motivation behind the parliamentary enclosure of St. Mary's-on-the-Hill parish, Chester, and of the landlord influence exerted to procure it. 1 However, that study concerned itself with the rounding out and emparking of the Grosvenor estates surrounding Eaton Hall after 1802 and the drive access thereto from Chester through Handbridge and Claverton. It did not consider the agricultural background to, or significance of, the enclosure which in 1805-7 sought to dispose of all remnants of open-field farming in St. Mary's parish, whether in Handbridge ward within the liberties of the City of Chester, or in Claverton township beyond. The agricultural background, over the two centuries preceding the enclosure at least, deserves consideration because the old royal manor of Handbridge (comprising lands in Handbridge, Claverton, and Eccleston), together with some non-royal territory in the same area, represents a rare example of the survival after 1600 of mixed open-field farming in a county which for the most part had abandoned it. An indication of this rarity is the fact that the St. Mary's enclosure is the only parliamentary one in Cheshire dealing with arable open field, the rest being concerned only with common pasture and waste. 2 Moreover, scholars misinterpreting seventeenth- century evidence have sometimes erroneously perceived this rare example as an agricultural unit operating three open fields, 56 P.J. W.Higson and as one of only some half-dozen possible Cheshire examples of this phenomenon, so that the removal of Handbridge from this category is important to the appraisal of the county as a whole.

NORTH-WEST MERCIA DURING the Half-Century Which Is Covered by the Reigns of Alfred the Great
NORTH-WEST MERCIA A.D. 871-924 By F. T. Wainwright Read 21 November, I9421 URING the half-century which is covered by the reigns D of Alfred the Great (871-899) and Edward the Elder (899- 924) there occurred a terrible calamity, the Scandinavian invasions, which exercised a profound and permanent influence upon the history and racial composition of Britain. The outline of events is reasonably clear, for we possess a contemporary account in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. Unfortunately, the Chronicle scribes, interested primarily in the West Saxon angle of the story, were unwilling or unable to describe conditions or events remote from their central theme. Amongst those regions of which a fuller knowledge would be especially welcome we must include North-west Mercia, that is to say modern Cheshire and parts of adjoining counties. The present paper attempts a popular survey of this area. It should be remembered that the story of Cheshire can be understood only when, in its proper setting, it is co-ordinated with the story of England. This, no less than the paucity and inferential nature of the evidence, demands that Cheshire be regarded as part of the kingdom of Mercia which was, in its turn, faced with a menace common to all the English states. In all probability the main Scandinavian settlements in Cheshire occurred during the reigns of Alfred and his son. It is extremely unlikely that any Scandinavians had settled in Cheshire before Alfred's accession, and we have no reason to suppose that such settlers were numerous after Edward's death.
