Nantwich used to be famous for its salt, which was produced in the town by evaopration of local brine from springs. Salt is still manufactured elsewhere in Cheshire - now mined rather than produced from brine.

What is probably Chester's oldest church may have had its origins in the reuse of the east entrance of the Roman amphitheatre as a church. The inserted side walls with steps could have been part of a crypt or a tower.
