This Cache is situated between two Historic Towns in the County of Cheshire on a public walk that is enhanced by wonderful views across the Cheshire Plains
KINGSLEY
is first listed in the Domesday Book of 1086 as "Chingeslie" in the Roelau Hundred. The village is listed as having been held from Earl Hugh d'Avranches by a Saxon named Dunning.
In 1260, the village was listed as "Kingisleg". The name of the village ultimately derives from "king's lea" – the meadow of the king.
The village was for a long time known for its independence, as shown in its early Quaker meeting house, as well as its siding with the Parliamentarians during the English Civil War.
WEAVERHAM
The name of the village is Saxon in origin. 'Wivreham', 'Weverham', 'Weaverham' and 'Waverham', have all been used to name the hamlet on the banks of the River Weaver.
The evidence for Weaverham before the eleventh century comes from the Domesday Book 1086. Although compiled for William I (1066-87), it records the situation in the reign of the Saxon king, Edward the Confessor (1042-66), for comparison with England after the Norman Conquest.
This Saxon settlement was one of the most important in Cheshire.
Although some of old Weaverham still survives much has been lost. For many years from the turn of the century until well after the Great War, Weaverham altered hardly at all.
