Welcome to the Christleton Blog. This is the best place to check what is happening as I tend to mention here any new items or features to the website as and when they happen and give a link to where you will find them. But I would encourage you to click around the site and explore. You are currently in the main part and you will find links to two other main sections. The Christleton War Voices which has an immense amount of information about Christleton in World War I. The other is Christleton 3 which is rich in photographs and includes two regular monthly features. Wildlife Watch and The History File. Enjoy.
No charge for the many hours it takes building and maintaining the website but there are a number of other costs including hosting, domain registration and additional software which all add up. Just you starting your Amazon shopping by clicking on the button above will help a lot. Thank you. And if you already do this a big thank you.
It must have been so difficult for him to say nothing since May but today everyone was able to hear that our David Cummings has so deservedly been awarded the British Empire Medal (BEM).

Looks as if I will be dashing into the garden again soon. Working away on the Christleton website or my business website the silence is disturbed by a sound that just makes you want to smile.

It's not often you can link Christleton to a famous royal figure from the 14th century. But that is what David Cummings has been able to do in his History File for September. Time to travel back over 650 years in time to Chester, the River Dee, murder, banquets, battles and the bridge at Hockenhull
You might be quite proud of the amount of wildlife you get in your own garden if you have made an effort by having plants that creatures like. But you will be doing well to attract the amount of wildlife that can be seen in the Legion Meadow in Christleton. David Cummings in his Wildlife Watch for September keeps us up to date with a report of what has been going on there this year accompanied by 32 lovely photographs.
