    WILLINGTON CIVIL PARISH Information – 2016 This drawing is reproduced with the kind permission of KADRAS. The artist was Anne Saul and the drawing was first printed in the book 'The Story of Kelsall' by Elspeth Thomas This booklet is produced by Willington Parish Council for delivery to all households in the Parish. If you leave the Parish please leave this booklet in your premises for the next occupier. Whilst every effort is made to ensure the facts are accurate the Parish Council cannot be held responsible for any errors. Brief History The name Willington is derived from Wynflaeda's farm. This female name is of Anglo- Saxon origin and she must have been an important person for her name to be enshrined in the name of Willington. In the Doomsday Enquiry, the settlement is noted as “1 hide paying tax, Land for 2 ploughs, 2 villagers have 1 plough; woodland half a league long and 1 acre wide, wasted, value before 1066 8 shillings now 10 shillings.” Wynflaeda choose a good spot to settle, the area was secluded and sheltered by the ridge to the north, the soil fertile and with a good supply of spring water. In particular water was obtained from a spring below Rough Low known as Pearl Hole. For many years this was the main water supply for the village. Later, during Norman times, the land was given to the Abbot of Stanlow Abbey on the banks of the River Mersey. The Abbot had to pay 10 shillings rent annually in Chester. Eventually the monks abandoned Stanlow due to flooding and were granted a site at Whalley in the Ribble Valley where they built an Abbey.

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 Some data will be out-of-date or incorrect as soon as it’s printed or written, and we apologise for any errors or omissions.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.

  • Hand-List of the Legh of Booths Charters in the John Rylands Library
    HAND-LIST OF THE LEGH OF BOOTHS CHARTERS IN THE JOHN RYLANDS LIBRARY. BY F. TAYLOR, M.A., PH.D. KEEPER OF MANUSCRIPTS AND ASSISTANT LIBRARIAN IN THE JOHN RYLANDS LIBRARY. documents listed below relate to the old Cheshire A family of Legh of Norbury Booths Hall, near Knutsford, and its estates from the late thirteenth to the early nineteenth century. They were saved from destruction 1 last century by the antiquary Richard Henry Wood (1820-1908), a scholar associated for many years with local history studies in Cheshire and Lancashire, and now form part of the large and important manuscript collection which he brought together from many sources. A general survey of this collection, which was deposited in the Library in 1940 by Captain J. Hatton Wood, has been given elsewhere,2 and it is perhaps sufficient here to notice that, in addition to the Legh charters, it is rich in monastic documents (twelfth-fifteenth century) and rare seals,3 and contains several royal grants (the earliest dating from the reign of Henry I), as well as a considerable number of miscellaneous deeds, mostly pre-1500, relating to some twenty-five counties. The Cheshire element of the Hatton Wood MSS., excluding the Legh charters, is comparatively small, numbering only thirty-six documents. Certain of these, however, are worthy of note, among them being eight thirteenth-century charters of the Abbey of St. Werburgh, Chester, five leases (1562-1647) from the Master and Brethren of the Hospital of St. John without the North Gate, Chester, a letter from Burghley to Edmund Gammell, late Mayor of Chester (Oct.

The actions published in the LEAP are supplemental to our everyday work on monitoring, surveying and regulating to protect the environment. Some of the key achievements for the Agency and its partners include: • Cleanaway’s incinerator at Ellesmere Port, destroys waste refrigerant gases (CFC’s and HCFC’s) greatly reducing their global warming and ozone depletion potentials. • New sulphur removal plant at Shell’s Stanlow Refinery has resulted in a reduction of the acid gas sulphur dioxide released into the atmosphere. • The closure of Bridgewater Paper’s coal-fired power station in summer 2000 and its replacement by a gas-fired combined heat and power (CHP) plant has resulted in a reduction in particulate and sulphur dioxide emissions. The new CHP was authorised in November 1999 and commissioned through 2000.

  • Orton.-Sketch-Of-Tattenhall.-30.8.Pdf
    TATTENHALL. Being a sketch of the Village of that name near CHESTER. Together with some accounts of Historic events relating to the City and County of Chester. From Notes and writings By the Late R.O. ORTON. Foreword. Having found the following notes on Tattenhall’s village and neighbourhood among my late father’s papers, and also that the reading of them considerably interested many friends, I decided, at their request, to place them in book form before the public, hoping they will meet with the same approval by the Tattenhall folk, as they have privately. I would also like to add that in the arranging and compiling of these notes I have been very cheerfully and ably helped by Mr. Alec C. Reid, a very old friend of our family. D. M. O. Bank House. Tattenhall. 29th February, 1908. Introduction to a short sketch of Tattenhall. It has been thought that it would not be uninteresting to the parishioners of Tattenhall, if a few notes were to be published of some of the changes in that time, in its appearance, and on its various inhabitants, their habits, customs, and traditions. It is not intended to write a history of the parish but merely to jot down such notes as may have been culled by the writer from various sources, or may have come down to him, as tradition, from some of the old inhabitants, long since dead.
