OTHER LOCALLY SIGNIFICANT PARKS AND GARDENS IN CHESHIRE

Trust volunteers have focused on the research and recording of non designated parks and gardens of which there are over 400 in Cheshire. Some of these sites have the potential to be of national significance but many will be local heritage assets. Completed reports are submitted to owners, the relevant local authority, Cheshire Archives and Local Studies who make the information available in local libraries, and Cheshire Historic Environment Record (CHER). Reports are also available from the Trust on request. Please contact us if you have queries regarding a potentially historic park and garden.

Note:  Reports have been completed for those sites in capital letters.  * indicates a Short Draft report.
