Synopsis
Excerpt from Gresty's Handy Guide-Book to Chester and Its Vicinity: With Brief Notices of Its Civil and Ecclesiastical History; Roman and Saxon Antiquities, Walls, Castle, and Cathedral; And a Description of Eaton Hall, With Plan and Illustrations
Hobby's Well. The quarry at the west end forms the most picturesque portion of the park, and here is placed an ancient archway, removed from the Nun's Gardens, on the Walls, near the Castle.
Adjoining the Park is the venerable church and romantic ruins of the Priory of St. John, founded by King Ethelred in 689. It was formerly the cathedral of the diocese, and is the most interesting of our ecclesiastical structures, and connected with great historic events, referred to in the sketch of ecclesiastical history. A flight of steps at each end of the churchyard leads to the Groves, a pleasant promenade, the river, where boats and barges can be hired, or a trip to Eccleston or Eaton Hall in the steamer.
