Parish Profile
THE PARISH OF ST PETER, HARGRAVE (0510) In the DIOCESE of CHESTER, MALPAS DEANERY PARISH PROFILE 24th February 2021 1 CONTENTS Introduction A popular place to live Church and associated buildings Church worship Huxley Church of England (Controlled) Primary School Church and village activities Finance Forward planning The incumbent This Parish Profile was prepared by members of Hargrave Parochial Church Council and approved by members of the whole PCC. Introduction The Parish of Hargrave, including Huxley, lies about 7 miles south east of Chester, between the roads to Whitchurch (A41) and Nantwich (A51). It is predominantly farmland on the Cheshire plain, overlooked by the Peckforton Hills and also by the castles of Beeston and Peckforton. The river Gowy ambles through the parish eventually feeding the River Mersey and flowing out into the Irish sea between Liverpool and New Brighton. The Parish (0510) forms part of the Malpas Deanery in the Diocese of Chester and is one of 20 Parishes in that Deanery. A Popular, attractive and vibrant place to live. Having been predominantly a farming community for most of its history, the Parish is now attracting residents who mostly travel to work. However several farms still remain, making in total, about 140 dwellings, and a population of less than 500 of all ages. There is a Village Hall in Huxley and, unusually, a new public house called ‘The Inn at Huxley’. Hargrave has the benefit of the Church Hall which also doubles up as a Village Hall. The Parish Church is St. Peter’s at Hargrave. We have the benefit of an excellent butcher’s shop and Deli at ‘The Inn at Huxley.’ There are other shops within a short driving distance at Tattenhall and Tarporley, both of which are lovely Cheshire villages. -

Some of the www.cheshire.gov.uk/countryside/HorseRiding/bishop bennet way.htm. A525 Whitchurch central sections of the route can be very wet during winter months. The route comprises some 27kms of surfaced roads (mostly without verges) and 12kms of ‘green lanes’ of which some have bridleway status, some restricted byway status, and others byway open to all traffic status. The rest of the route is by field-edge and cross- field paths, the latter being occasionally subject to ploughing. You must expect to share all these routes with walkers and cyclists and, in the case of byways, roads and some restricted byways, with motor traffic too. You should also expect some use of routes by farmers with agricultural vehicles. Using bed and breakfast accommodation for horse and rider, the whole ride can be completed over two consecutive days or you could choose to ride shorter sections individually. -
Excavations at the Pillar of Eliseg, Llangollen, 2010–2012
EXCAVATIONS AT THE PILLAR OF ELISEG, LLANGOLLEN, 2010–2012 PROJECT ELISEG Final report prepared for CADW February 2015 Nancy Edwards, Gary Robinson and Howard Williams With the assistance of Carol Ryan Young 2 CONTENTS INTRODUCTION 5 METHODOLOGY 7 EXCAVATION OVERVIEW 8 CONTEXT NARRATIVE 9 SPECIALIST REPORTS 15 Petrology Report: The Nature and Source of Stone - Jana Horák 15 Report on the Cremated Bones – Geneviève Tellier 19 Report on the Animal Bones – Sian James 24 Charcoal Analysis from the Pillar of Eliseg – Pat Denne 26 Pillar of Eliseg Bronze Age Finds 27 Pottery – Julie Edwards 29 PROJECT ELISEG'S PUBLIC ARCHAEOLOGY 33 DISCUSSION – TOWARDS A CULTURAL BIOGRAPHY OF THE PILLAR OF ELISEG 42 REFERENCES 69 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 81 FIGURES 82 APPENDICES 104 Context Register 104 Drawing Register 106 Finds Register 108 Photographic Register 124 Sample Register 156 3 INTRODUCTION The Pillar of Eliseg, originally an early medieval round-shafted cross with a lengthy Latin inscription, stands on top of a burial cairn (PRN 101159, 101161) in a prominent location in the valley of the Nant Eglwyseg 400m north west of Valle Crucis Abbey near Llangollen, Denbighshire, in north-east Wales Figure 1. It is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and a Guardianship site. Project Eliseg was set up in 2009 to explore the archaeological context of the Pillar and the cairn thereby enabling the reconstruction of a more detailed ‘biography’ of the monument. It also aimed to test the hypothesis that the original cross might have been the focus of an early medieval assembly and/or royal inauguration site associated with the early medieval rulers of Powys (Edwards 2009, 168–169). -
Adders in Cheshire Andy Harmer
Adders in Cheshire Andy Harmer The Adder could possibly be the most under-recorded of all of our terrestrial vertebrates in Cheshire, and though the secretive nature of this animal is a factor, it is not considered the main cause. Unfortunately, other than Risley Moss SSSI there is no evidence of structured or even ad hoc surveying or monitoring throughout the Cheshire recording area. At a time when nationally the Adder is regarded as our fastest declining herptile, it is crucial that Cheshire naturalists aren’t caught napping. How unpalatable would it be for the Adder to survive centuries of persecution only to demise now through naturalist apathy? All known documented sites, both historic and contemporary have been used in the preparation of this article so this animal’s distribution, past and present, can be put into some type of context. The aspiration is that it will serve to encourage natural historians out of their armchairs and away from their usual haunts to go and search for this much maligned but beautiful animal. This animal can only be protected regionally if there is up to date knowledge of its distribution. The Records On examination of the Adder records in the Local Record Centre’s (rECOrd) database, plus a few additional records I’ve gleaned recently from national surveys and historical documents, I can say without doubt it makes grim reading. If the lack of modern records from former sites actually means absence of the animal rather than absence of a recorder then it is worrying, though skewed results due to recorder apathy must be considered. -
