  • Early Methodism in and Around Chester, 1749-1812
    EARIvY METHODISM IN AND AROUND CHESTER — Among the many ancient cities in England which interest the traveller, and delight the antiquary, few, if any, can surpass Chester. Its walls, its bridges, its ruined priory, its many churches, its old houses, its almost unique " rows," all arrest and repay attention. The cathedral, though not one of the largest or most magnificent, recalls many names which deserve to be remembered The name of Matthew Henry sheds lustre on the city in which he spent fifteen years of his fruitful ministry ; and a monument has been most properly erected to his honour in one of the public thoroughfares, Methodists, too, equally with Churchmen and Dissenters, have reason to regard Chester with interest, and associate with it some of the most blessed names in their briefer history. ... By John Wesley made the head of a Circuit which reached from Warrington to Shrewsbury, it has the unique distinction of being the only Circuit which John Fletcher was ever appointed to superintend, with his curate and two other preachers to assist him. Probably no other Circuit in the Connexion has produced four preachers who have filled the chair of the Conference. But from Chester came Richard Reece, and John Gaulter, and the late Rev. John Bowers ; and a still greater orator than either, if not the most effective of all who have been raised up among us, Samuel Bradburn.

  • The Five Historic Cottages at Waterloo Street West and Water Street Were
    A Brief History of the Cottages The five historic cottages at corner of Water Street and Waterloo Street West (originally just Waterloo Street) were built in the early 1800’s. They were the subject of a lease between William Roe and a Thomas Harrop dated 20th March 1824 for a term of 999 years at a rent of four pounds thirteen shillings and five pence – about 93p in modern day pence per house, per year. Harrop had however to build the houses. “with brick or stone or both to be set in lime mortar and the floors and roof timber to be of good sound oak or fir”. He was also obliged to “pave, and drain and flag Water Street and Waterloo Street”. The tenants’ benefits included the use of a “common yard” and shared outside toilets! Water Street runs off Roe Street where William Roe and his family lived. The cottages were, most likely, built to be used by their workers. William Roe’s father Charles had discovered a copper mine in the “Isle of Anglesea” whilst on holiday in Wales. Ore was taken to Liverpool where it was refined and then transported to Macclesfield where, in 1758, he established the Copper Works. Old coins still exist bearing the head of Charles Roe. Round the edge was stamped “Payable in Macclesfield, Congleton and Liverpool”. Obverse of a Roe & Co. Halfpenny of 1789 To Charles Roe belongs the distinction of being the first man to introduce silk throwing into Macclesfield. By 1881, Mary Collins, a widow and her daughter Sarah “ Provision Dealers” lived at 28 Water Street with number 30 being an adjoining “Bakehouse”.
