Knutsford owed its prosperity less to the villages served by its market, gained with a 1292 charter, than to its surrounding manorial estates and the Egertons of Tatton, lords of the manor, who wielded both influence and wealth. Knutsford was given an importance disproportionate to its size; despite having little trade beyond agriculture and cottage industries, it held quarter sessions from 1575 and was home to a workhouse and rural district offices that covered a wide area. A lack of both water power and canal doomed the town’s attempt to advance the textiles industry with a silk mill and cotton workshops. Knutsford later became a resort for the gentry, owing to its location on the London to Liverpool coaching route. Its 18th century Assembly Rooms at the George inn and the races on the heath made it a popular destination until the arrival of the railway in 1862. Knutsford can also claim an illustrious inhabitant in Elizabeth Gaskell, whose novel, Cranford, recreates the 19th-century town through her childhood memories. Elizabeth was married in the parish church in 1832 and is buried at the 300-year-old Brook Street chapel. Today Knutsford boasts a host of customs, including the May Day festival, which started in 1864 and became "Royal" after an 1887 visit by the Prince and Princess of Wales. It is a popular, colorful event with Jack-in-the-Green, maypole, and Morris dancers, and the local custom of sanding. The town’s history is echoed by its buildings, which range from timber-framed to Georgian. There are also examples of Richard Harding Watt’s unique Italianate style. Watt came to live in the town in 1894 and drew inspiration from his Mediterranean travels. A new edition of this charming history by the late Joan Leach is long overdue and will interest all who know the town.

Not illustrated. 1859 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER II. KNUTSFOKD HISTORICALLY; GEOLOGICAL FORMATION; ADAM AND THE DISPERSION OF THE NATIONS. NAME KNUTSFORD FROM KING CANUTE HIS CHARACTER; LETTER OF DR. JACOB GRIMM. ROBERT CANUTCS J KNUTSFORD AT THE CONQUEST SUCCESSION TO THE MANORIAL RIGHTS J BURGESSES AND A MAYOR; HISTORY OF THE CHURCH BELLS. LEVY OF FOOT, 1549. Witt something of a crab-like motion, we have worked ourselves forwards by going backwards, and have advanced as far as we can by that process. Let us next attempt the other mode; let us leave retrogression and enter upon progression, beginning from the beginning, and speaking of Knutsford historically. I might imitate the Welsh pedigree, and with reference to the Geological History of Knutsford might note down the remark, "about this time the world was created;" I might go into the question of the geological formation of the very ground on which the Manor Court-house is placed, and arguing, how old the sand beds on the Race-course are, mixed with layers of fox-bench, and coloured by a deposition of oxide of iron; how old too are the gravel pits in Tattbn Park, or the brick earths at Shaw Heath; and supposing Rostheme Mere was once filled by a huge rock of salt, how many centuries it would occupy for rain and fresh-water streams to melt and wash all the salt into the sea; from these data I might work out a geological romance respecting the condition of Knutsford, not merely before the flood, but before man himself was created upon the earth; and, though from resting on the new red-sandstone the highest geological antiquity cannot be claimed, the substratum of the neighbourhood is of kindred "In Bucklow Hundred," according to Holland's Agricultural Survey of Cheshire, p. 10, "the soils are very much intermixed, clay...
