Church History

An ancient parish church, serving part of the city of Chester.

The district was affected by the following boundary changes:

  • 1887 September 27 — extended when the following area was transferred from Chester: St. Mary without the Walls: "That portion of the parish of Saint Mary-on-the-Hill which is situate on the north side of the River Dee and on the east side of Bridge-street aforesaid".
