Few places in the kingdom presentto the antiquary attractions of more varied characterthan this ancient city: it is rich in memorable incidentsand associations, and has a history chronicled not onlyin books, but in its waUs, ecclesiastical and other buildings,its unique "rows" and other venerable remains.Chester may not improbably have been a very earlySiberian or British town, and it most certainly was an imsportantRoman station: the general plan of the cityand the arrangement of the prindpal streets—answeringin some measure to a Roman camp—^bear witness to itsTBoman origin: to the Roman geographers it was known.as "Deva,"" or the station on the Dee, where, according tor.the Antonine Itinerary, was the station from A.D. 61 ofthe 2oth Legion (Valeria Victrix), and this seems to be-confirmed by the name " Caer Leon Gawr," or the " cityof the great legion," assigned to it by the British; this-view is further strengthened by the discovery here ofTotive altars and sculptured tombstones, the inscriptionson which show that they were erected by officers andothers belonging to Roman legions, besides which manyand various other Roman remains have been met with atdifferent periods. The 20th Legion quitted Deva aboutA.D, 406 ; and it then reverted to the Britons, from whomit was taken in 607 by Ethelfrith the Fierce, King ofNorthumbria; the Britons, however, regained possession,and continued to hold the place till they were dispossessedin 828-30 by Egbert, who, as sole monarch, added Legancester,as it was caUed by the Saxons, to his otherdominions; in 8g4 it was taken and ravaged by the Danes,and on their retreat, the city walls were rebuilt, aboutgo8, by Ethelfleda, Countess of Mercia; but after herdeath, the Britons once more became its masters, onlyto be again expeUed by Edward the Elder: in the summerof 973, Edgar received on the Dee the homage of variousinferior Saxon sovereigns, and according to some writers,was rowed from his palace on the south bank' of the riverto the conventual church of St. John by eight tributarykings: on the division of the country in 1016 betweenEdmund Ironside and Canute, Chester, as part of Mercia,was retained by the latter. Under the Normans Chesterincreased considerably in importance, and after the Conquest,the Earldom of Chester (county) was conferred onGeorbodus, a nobleman of Flanders, who, however, nevertook possession of his territory, and, returning to theContinent, died soon after, upon which the dignity wasbestowed by the Conqueror, in 1070, upon his halfsister'sson, Hugh de Abrincis (or Avranches), surnamed"Lupus," who had his residence and held his courts andparliaments here, to which he summoned the barons andlandowners of the shire; this powerful and wealthy nobleeventually died as a monk in the abbey of St. Werburgh.at Chester, 27 July, iioi :and on the death in Dec. 1119of his son Richard, 2nd earl, the male Une then becomingextinct, the earldom passed to his ist cousin, Eanulphdo MeschineS; son of Balph de Meschines, who had

II. c. 9 (i3g8) the earldom of Chesterwas erected into a PrincipaUty, and although this Actwas annulled by the Act i Hen. TV. c 3, the earldomof Chester has ever since been granted in conjunctionwith the PrincipaUty of Wales, and H.E.H. the presentPrince of Wales thus received both titles gth Nov. igoi.The city suffered severely during the sanguinary periodof the Wars of the Boses, and was on one occasion (in1455) visited by Margaret of Anjou, the warlike queen ofHenry VI. King James I. on his journey into Scotlandin 1617 passed through Chester, and received from themayor the city sword, which, being re-delivered to him,was borne by the mayor on horseback before the king. Onthe breaking out of the Civil War, the city was in 1642the head quarters of the Eoyalists in this locality; and in1645, under the governorship of John, ist Lord Byron, anda distinguished cavalier, withstood, under great privations,the attacks of Sir WilUam Brereton; the king thereuponcame to its reUef (22 Sep. 1645), but the royal forcesbeing defeated on Eowton Heath, 2 miles from the city,on the 24th, the king, after remaining one night, retiredto Denbigh, and the place was eventuaUy surrendered 3Feb. 1646. In Aug. i65g. Sir George Booth and SirThomas Middleton surprised and took it, but were defeatednear Nantwich by General Lambert, who then advancedupon and recaptured Chester; the city was visitedby James II. in 1687, and on the rebelUon of 1688, wasseized by Lords Molyneux and Aston in the royal interest,but the speedy abdication of James rendered their effortsuseless: under William III. Chester was appointed oneof six places for the assay of gold and silver, and thisprivilege is stiU retained; in the Jacobite rising in 1745,it was fortified and garrisoned against the Pretender, thisbeing the last important military event in its history,but it is still a chief military centre. On the n and 12Feb, 1867, the castle was threatened by attack by theFenians, whose intentions, however, were rendered futileby the activity of the authorities. The Exchange andTown Hall, burnt down 30 Dec. 1862, were reopened byH.M. the King, then Earl of Chester, 15 Oct. i86g.Chester is entirely surrounded by waUs, which areamong the most perfect examples of such fortificationsto • be found in the kingdom: they are built of soft freestoneand are nearly two miles in circumference, varyingfrom about 12 to 40 feet in height, with a paved walkon the top, of sufficient -width in the narrowest part toadmit of two persons walking abreast, thus affording abeautiful promenade, in the circuit of which a varietyof pleasing prospects are presented to the eye, includingthe Boodee, or racecourse, the river Dee and Peckfortonand Beeston Castles and the mountains of Flintshire andDenbighshire: the waUs are said to have been rebuiltand their circuit enlarged by Ethelred and Ethelfleda,Earl and Countess of Mercia, about the year go8, andthey StUl have, besides posterns, four principal gates,viz. East gate. North gate. Bridge gate and Water gate-East gate consists of a single lofty arch for the passageof carriages, and two posterns for foot passengers: itwas built in i76g, on the site of the ancient gate, atthe expense of Eichard, ist Baron Grosvenor, whose arms,with those of the city, occupy the centre of the archway.North gate, a simUar structure, formerly served as thedty prison, and was in the charge and keeping of thesheriffs. Bridge gate, which has also a central arch andtwo posterns, was erected in 1782, at the expense ofthe Corporation and had formerly an octagonal tower.Water gate, built of local red sandstone, painted toimitate freestone, was built in 1788, on the site of theancient Water gate, the expenses being defrayed out ofthe Murage duties, and it acquired its name from thefact that the tide once flowed up to this spot. Theprincipal postern gates were KaU yard, New gate (formerlycaUed Wolf gate) and Ship gate.The walls were formerly defended by various towers ;the New Tower, sometimes caUed the Water Tower,projectin"- from the waUs towards the Dee and twentyfourfeet"in height, was built in 1322, at the expense ofthe citizens; large iron rings were attached to thistower to which vessels were fastened which came upto this point before the harbour became chokeo withsand: a thoroughfare tower, leading to the Water Tower,was anciently caUed Bonewaldesthorne Tower. ThePhoenix Tower, from which Charles I. •witnessed thedefeat of his army, commanded by Sir MarmadukeLangdale, at Eowton Moor (24 Sept. 1645), by the Par­Uamentary forces, under Sir WilUam Brereton and Col.Poyntz, takes its name from the crest of the Paintersand Stainers, who, •with other companies, held theirmeetings in this tower: it was formerly caUed NewtonTower: there were, besides these. Goblin's Tower, nowknown by the name of Pemberton's Parlor, of whichonly a portion remains, and the Saddler's Tower, whichstood near the Cathedral, but was taken down in 1780.The city consists principaUy of four streets, excavatedout of the solid rock and' diverging at right angles tothe cardinal points from a centre, where formerly stooda stone cross, called the High Cross, puUed down in 1646,after the city had faUen into the hands of the ParUamentaryarmy, but a portion of the structure is stiUpreserved in the Grosvenor Museum; the first floors ofthe houses on both sides at an average height of about10 feet above the level of the carriage-way, are continuouslyopen to the street, and form the famous "Rows,"which are a species of elevated corridors or ambulatorieswith shops at the back, affording a sheltered promenadefor foot passengers over the shops below and communicatingwith the streets by flights of steps placed at intervals:in the " Rows " and elsewhere within the city waUs thereare stiU extant many highly interesting examples of thetimber-framed and plaster houses peculiar to this county,and some of these are richly ornamented with carved workand pargeting : " God's Providence House," in Water gatestreet, dated 1652, and reconstructed in 1862, tak^s itsname from the motto, " God's providence is mine inheritance,"carved on one of the exterior beams, and said to havebeen thus inscribed by a former tenant who escaped theplague, which had visited almost every other house inthe city: the house of Bishop Lloyd (1615) and that ofthe Stanley family (isgi) are also in this street: anotherfine example is the Bear and Billet inn, in Bridge street,which thoroughfare also affords several other quaintspecimens of tihis style: the streets are paved with stoneand lighted with gas from works in Paradise row, near theRoodee, originally erected in 1818 in Cuppin street, bythe Chester Gas Light Company, amalgamated in 1856•with the Roodee Gas Company, under the name of TheChester United Gas Company and also by electric lightsupplied by the corporation from their new works inMiddle Crane street. The water supply is derived fromworks at Barrell Well and Spitalfield walk, the propertyof the Chester Water Works Company, whose offices a:6in Newgate street.Chester is amply provided with railway communicationand has three stations. The general station at thetop of City road',into which the trains of the Great Westernand London and North Western companies run, is thejoint property of these two companies; there are 8platforms, the two longest being 520 yards each inlength; two others, known as the Isiland platforms anderected in i8go, are each 340 yards long; in i8go variousimprovements were carried out, including the extension ofthe glazed iron roof, so as to cover the whole of the platforms.The station of the Cheshire Lines Committee, in Victoriaroad, called " Northgate station," was opened fortraffic in 1875, and has two platforms each 100 yardslong; the whole is covered by a light iron framed andglazed roof.The Great Central Railway (late Manchester, Sheffieldand Lincolnshire) station in Liverpool road was openedin 1890 and a branch line has since been made from thisstation to Hawarden, affording communication with Wrexham,and a line has been constructed so as to connectChester with the Cambrian railways and South Wales withBirkenhead, Hoylake and Seacombe.The dty is a seaport and under the Act of 1846 itsUmits were declared to be from the eastern end of thebridge to Red Stones, at Hoylake, to the Voryd or Clwydriver, and along the seashore and western side of the Dee,to the westem end of the bridge, including the riversDee and Voryd: fishing boats and their implements tobe distinguished by the letters CH.; the river Dee hasbeen canaUzed from the city to Connah's quay at itsestuary, which expands to a considerable width.The Old Bridge over the Dee, at the Bridge gate, consistingof seven irregular arches, is of considerable antiquity,but has been rebuUt and repaired at differentCHESHIRE 14

Thecity has a commission of the Peace and separate court ofQuarter Sessions and a police force, and ancient Courtsof Becord called the " Court pf Pentice " and the " Courtof Portmote." Under the "Local Government Act, 1888,"Chester is declared a " county-borough," for certain purposesof that Act.Chester returned two members to ParUament from the^st year of Queen Mary (1553), the elective franchisebeing vested in the freemen and householders; but underthe " Bedistribution of Seats Act, 1885," the representationwas reduced to one member, the franchisehaving been pre^viously extended in accordance with the" Bepresentation of the People Act, 1867" (30 and 31Vict. c. 102).The city arms:—"England, dimidiating az. 3 garbs,or," are probably at least as old as 1283, and were confirmedby WUliam Flower, Norroy, 3 Sept. 1580, with crestand supporters; but in the 17th and i8th century, the coat«az. 3 garbs, or," surmoimted by a sword in pale—was used.The see of Chester originated in 1075, when Peter,34th bishop of Lichfield, removed the seat of his dioceseto this city, with the church of St. John the Baptist asa cathedral, thus occasioning his successors to be frequentlystyled bishops of Chester, although the nextbishop, Eobert de Lindsey, prebend of St. Paul's, translatedthe head of the see to Coventry, where it remainedtiU about 1086, when Hugh Novant, prior of the Carthusians,re-estabUshed it at Lichfield. Ohester, however,was not created a distinct and separate see until1541, when it was chosen as one of the six new bishopricsmade by Henry "VIII. and the church of the Benedictineabbey of St. Werburg, founded in 1053 by Hugh Lupus,Earl of Chester, was assigned as the cathedral churchand re-dedicated to Christ and the Blessfed Virgin. "Thediocese now consists of the entire county of Ohester,except parts of the parishes of Threapwood and Whitchurch,and part of Mottram in Longdendale, and italso includes portions of the parishes of Doddleston,Hawarden, and Malpas, in FUntshire, of Ashton-under-Lyne, in Lancashire, and of Barthomley, in Staffordshire.There are two archdeaconries (Ohester and Macclesfield),12 rural deaneries, and 265 benefices. The. revenue ofthe see, which in 1824 was only £1,700 a year, was increasedby the Ecclesiastical Commissioners to ^^4,200.Among the bishops of Chester may be mentioned JohnBird, appointed to the see on its creation in 1541; hehad been a monk of the Carmelite order, and sometimeabbot of Chester, suffragan bishop of Penrith, in 1537,and bishop of Bangor in 1539; in 1553-4 te was deprivedby Mary for having married, but afterwards conforming,was employed as suffragan to Bishop Bonner of London;he died in 1558.

On the north side of the nave are the abbeycloisters, no feet square; the eastern alley opens into avestibule, leading to the chapter house, and near this onthe north are stairs, once leading to the dormitory, and tothe east a vaulted cellar; the refectory occupies almostthe whole of the north walk, and on the west side is along low vaulted undercroft of Early Norman date. TheCathedral is so much shut in by buildings that a reallygood general view is unobtainable, but the best prospectis afforded by the city wall, which closely adjoins theCathedral yard on the east. The eastern portion of thefabric is almost entirely Early EngUsh, the remainder isDecorated, with additions and alterations made duringthe Perpendicular period. The west front, flanked byoctagonal banded turrets, is whoUy filled with a Perpendicularwindfi-^v, richly traceried; the space below isoccupied by an embattled screen, vrith a central doorway,on either side of which are three canopied niches; thebasement of the south-west tower, along the face ofwhich the banding of the turret is carried, has a Perpendicularwindow, -with a canopied niche on eitlier side;the interior serves as a consistory court. The southporch, which abuts on this tower, has a parvise chamberabove it. The cathedral has generally pierced parapets,but the south transept and its aisles are embattled, andthe east end of the choir is strongly marked by twooctagonal turrets, with tall crocketed spirelets; the stoneroof of the south-eastern apse, restored from existingrecords, and rising to a height of about 40 feet, is alsoa very striking feature; the east end of the lady chapelis finished 'with buttresses surmounted by canopied pinnacles.The nave is 143 feet long, and, with the aisles, 75feet wide, and has a height of 73 feet; its arcades areDecorated, of rather plain character, but the stage aboveis whoUy Perpendicular, with a lofty window in each bay,and serves both as triforium and clerestory; the naveis seated with open benches and chairs, and at the eastend are raised seats, arranged longitudinally, for thechoir; the pulpit, designed by Mr. R. C Hussey, andthe eagle lectern, were removed from the choir; thenave was first used for divine service on Advent Sunday,1867; the aisles were also modified during the Perpendicularperiod, but the lower part of the waU of thenorth aisle is Norman work; the interior wall of thisaisle has been adorned •with marble mosaics, the gift ofMrs. Piatt, of Stalybridge, who died in 1888; the work,finished in 1890, represents scenes from the Old Testamenthistory, designed by Mr. Clayton, jun. and executedby Mr. Burke, of Newman street, London; thestained windows above were presented in 1890 by H.Higgins esq. of Hereford.
