A little history
Nantwich's Great Fire of 1583 burned most of the town — Queen Elizabeth I contributed to the rebuilding, which created the magnificent black-and-white timber-framed buildings that survive today. The Battle of Nantwich (1644) was a Parliamentary victory that saved the town from Royalist siege. The town was once the centre of Cheshire's salt and cheese trade.
The medieval town centre is beautiful — the black-and-white buildings on Hospital Street are outstanding. The Nantwich Food Festival in September is one of England's best. The church of St Mary for the medieval interior.
