Macefen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Coordinates: 53°01′34″N 2°43′26″W / 53.026°N 2.724°W / 53.026; -2.724 Macefen is a civil parish in the unitary authority of Cheshire West and Chester and the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England. It lies 2 miles (3.2 km) east of the village of Malpas and 5 miles (8.0 km) north west of Whitchurch, Salop. Part of the village of No Man's Heath lies within the northern boundary of Macefen.

Macefen is a slightly curious parish in that it scarcely appears in gazeteers. Kelly's Directory of Cheshire, 1914 lists Macefen under Tushingham cum Grindley thus: "Macefen (or Maesfen) is a small township in the Whitchurch union, 2 miles south from Malpas station. The Hon. Mrs. Algernon R. Parker, who has a residence here [at grid reference SJ518466 on the north side of Bradley Lane], is lady of the manor and sole landowner." It never had its own church but was served by adjacent churches.[1]
