Name

[edit]

What is the origin of the district's name? 86.136.1.31 20:27, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article doesn't make it particularly clear, but it was the name given by the future Edward I to the (more or less forcibly seized) area of Cheshire countryside he'd chosen to build the abbey he'd vowed to found; more explanation can be found at the article for Vale Royal Abbey.

A Possible project (or sub-project) for Cheshire

[edit]

I hope I haven't trodden on any toes by doing this, but I took as a precedent the project about Cornwall. I've listed a proposed project concerning Cheshire on Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals. I think it can easily co-exist with Wikipedia:WikiProject UK geography. I would not want to diminish or withdraw from this other project. If you are interested in contributing to this proposed project, please add your name to list at the appropriate place. If you think it might be better placed as a sub-project of the existing UK Geography Project, please say so on that project's talk page, here, and let us discuss it. Many thanks.  DDS  talk 18:16, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
