Synopsis

Beyond the Roman ruins and great country houses, the county of Cheshire is home to a remarkably rich heritage that has seen many of its towns and villages play witness to events connected with some of the most famous periods of broader English history. As a result, a fascinating patchwork of stories are left to us, many of which have since come to reside somewhere between the realms of fact and folk-tale fiction.

A Cestrian Song brings together a selection of explorations into the most intriguing of those stories, with country mystics, vanished castles, and murderous medieval rebellions being just some of the topics brought to life in its pages, as it journeys through the legends and antiquarian embellishments to reveal the incredible local histories within.

Eli Lewis-Lycett is an independent history writer and podcaster, folklore columnist for Cheshire Life Magazine, feature writer for Haunted Magazine, and the founder of The Local Mythstorian project.
