There is much to be learned about the history of a building, a community, a neighbourhood, from looking at its landscape with a discerning eye. This book arose out of a Research Day held in 2021 to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the foundation of Chester Society for Landscape History in 1986. It brings together the work of seven members of the Society and offers glimpses into the past based on what can still be seen today. The papers, which focus on Cheshire but reach beyond it to north and south, range in time from the tenth century to the twenty-first, and cover topics as diverse as early ecclesiastical structures, medieval and modern settlements, nineteenth-century transport systems and both private and public buildings. Collectively, they express the enlightenment and the enjoyment to be found in the study of landscape history.
