Christleton
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Christleton is a small village on the outskirts of Chester in the north west of England.
Its history can be traced with certainty to the Domesday Book, which contains an entry for Christletone, though there is evidence of earlier occupation.
The Anglican church is dedicated to St James and the current building was designed by William Butterfield and was consecrated in 1877. The church's continuous list of clergy dates back to 1215.
It has been the best-kept village in Cheshire in 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004.
It also possesses a large comprehensive high school, known as Christleton High School.
