Parish History

HARTHILL (All Saints), is a parish, in the union of Great Boughton, the higher division of the hundred of Broxton, S. division of the county of Chester, it is 2 miles (S. S. E.) from Tattenhall. The parish is situated about three-quarters of a mile from the road from Tarporley and Nantwich to Wrexham.[1]

Harthill All Saints is an Ancient parish in Cheshire, and is now a redundant church adapted for use as community facility for the village and surrounding area.

A chapel is first mentioned on this site in 1280. It is likely that the earlier church was timber framed. The present church was built in 1609. A restoration was carried out in 1862–63 and at this time a vestry was added to the north side and a larger belfry was erected.

Harthill is a village and civil parish in the unitary authority of Cheshire West and Chester and the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England.
