    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. If any apology is needed for the writer venturing to publish this pamphlet, containing such jottings, it may perhaps be found in the fact that in these days of rapid progress, people are apt to forget or neglect the past history of their country, and whilst enjoying the countless privileges which they now have, fail to appreciate the greatness of those privileges, by not comparing them with the few advantages enjoyed by their forefathers.

  • The Open Fields of Cheshire
    THE OPEN FIELDS OF CHESHIRE BY DOROTHY SYLVESTER, M.A., F.R.G.S. /CHESHIRE has long lain in the no man's land of early \-s cultivation systems. In a borderland zone, and with the assembled information as to open arable lands limited to a few examples, it has been widely believed that common arable fields had little place in the development of Cheshire agronomy. H. L. Gray came nearest to the truth when he wrote in 1915 in English Field Systems that the vestiges of open common field mentioned in Tudor surveys suggested that earlier most hamlets in the county had had a certain amount of open arable land. Yet he only named twelve places in which it occurred. This opinion received little support from English historians and in 1938, the late Dr. C. S. Orwin's view was summed up in these words: "In Cumberland, Westmorland and Cheshire only a few scattered instances (i.e. of open field) have been found, those in Cheshire being mostly in the neighbourhood of Chester." (1) Nor was Orwin alone in assuming that it was correct to leave Cheshire almost a blank on the distribution map of open field in England. In the late 1940s a number of Manchester geographers began work on rural Cheshire from various angles and not by any means with the open-field question as their main concern. In particular, Mrs. Vera Chapman made a study of the Dee and Gowy valleys in Cheshire from which originated the paper Open Fields in West Cheshire, published in TRANSACTIONS Volume 104.

SUMMARY The small medieval settlements of Over and Wharton, which lie 1.5km west and 0.75km east of the River Weaver respectively, have long since been subsumed by the expanding township of Winsford, which lies between the two on the banks of the river. Winsford’s prosperity was founded upon the exploitation of brine in the 18th and 19th centuries and the efficient transportation afforded by the Weaver Navigation.

A combined study for the Parish of Rushton in which the Eaton is the principle settlement was highlighted as one of the objectives in the Parish Plan and has been prepared by a Working Group of six residents. An essential ingredient in the process is public participation, so the Group invited every family in the Parish and the village’s Primary Schoolchildren to comment on its initial findings and record their own views at two drop-in sessions in the Village Hall. Their many useful observations and suggestions have influenced the final document which now stands as a compulsory reference, not just for the planning department at Cheshire West and Chester Borough Council (CW&CBC) but for everyone involved with residential, agricultural, commercial and public realm development in the Parish and Eaton.

  • Four Centuries of Cheshire Farming Systems, 150O-1900
    FOUR CENTURIES OF CHESHIRE FARMING SYSTEMS, 150O-1900 BY G. E. FUSSELL, F.R.HIST.S. 'T'HERE are records of the goodness of Cheshire cheese for _L nearly a thousand years, but some of the earliest are a trifle legendary. Having been a dairy and cheese-making county for so long it is one of the few counties where farming changed very little between Tudor and Victorian days, but that does not mean either that methods have always been the same or that the same area was occupied by farm land four and a half centuries ago. Wide areas have been reclaimed from the wild here as elsewhere. Marling was a method of fertilising the soil practised by the Romans. It is believed to have fallen out of use in this country during the Middle Ages, but not in Cheshire. When Leland tra­ velled in Shropshire, Cheshire and Lancashire he found marl was used to ameliorate the poor sandy soils in those three counties, and in particular noticed the amazingly good results round Mr. Spur- stow's house in Cheshire where he saw "marvellous good corne and pastures". At Mr. Booth's place there "by good culture is made veri good corne ground, wher sometime was very ferny and commune ground", (1) so already some farmers, or landowners of Cheshire were, all unwittingly no doubt, in the forefront of the advanced farming of their day. This was perhaps because farms in Cheshire were largely reclaimed from scrub woodland, peat moss or marsh, or some hill land on the border of Derby.
