Parish History[edit | edit source]

TATTENHALL (St. Alban), is a parish, in the union of Great Boughton, Lower division of the hundred of Broxton, South division of the county of Chester; containing, with the townships of Golborne-Bellow and Newton, it is 5¾ miles (S. W. by W.) from Tarporley. The township is intersected by the Chester and Crewe railway. Besides the church, there are places of worship for Independents and Wesleyans.[1]

Tattenhall St Alban's is an Ancient Parish in Cheshire and includes Golborne [Golborne] Bellow and Newton by Tattenhall.

It is thought that a church may have existed on this site at the time of the Norman conquest. The tower and parts of the present church date from the early 16th century. The church was restored and largely remodelled in 1869–1870 by John Douglas.

The settlement of Tatenale was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086. The name is believed to be derived from the Old English personal name Tata and halh, meaning "a meadow". The spelling of the village has altered over the centuries: Tatenhala (1280), Tattenhall (1289), Tatnall (1473), Tottenhall (1553) and Tettenhall (1649).

Tattenhall is a village and civil parish, 8 miles south-east of Chester, in the unitary authority of Cheshire West and Chester and the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England.
