Welcome to the web site for the village of Eccleston.

Since Eccleston Village has had a web site, over 4000 people have visited it. The total now stands at...

Eccleston together with Aldford, Saighton and Waverton are villages on the estate of the Duke of Westminster, the Eaton Estate. Eccleston, several times voted one of Cheshire's best-kept villages, has riverside walks along the meadows to Chester and by the wilder wooded banks upstream through an atmospheric and historic landscape.

Eccleston has one of the oldest Churches in the area (‘eccles’ was actually an old Celtic-Welsh word for a church).

A beautiful and interesting little village, all the houses in Eccleston have a neat and unostentatious appearance, many of which were designed by John Douglas, a well known Chester architect in the 1900s. Typical of the Eaton village estates are the twisted chimneys, windows with diamond panes and even diamond brick inlay in many of the cottage walls. About 400 inhabitants form the population of Eccleston parish, 300 of whom are of the village.
