Hall is converted into a hotel with a See also:spa. Nantwich has tanneries, a manufacture of boots and shoes, and clothing factories; and See also:corn-milling and See also:iron-See also:founding are carried on. The town is one of the best See also:hunting centres in the county, being within reach of several meets.
From the traces of a See also:Roman road between Nantwich and MiddIewich, and the various Roman remains that have been found in the neighbourhood, it has been conjectured that Nantwich was a salt--town in Roman times, but of this there is no conclusive See also:evidence. The Domesday Survey contains a See also:long See also:account of the See also:laws, customs and values of the salt-works at that See also:period, which were by far the most profitable in Cheshire. The salt-houses were divided between the See also:- KING

William Malbedeng or Malbank was created See also:baron of Nantwich, which See also:barony he held of the earl of Chester. In the 13th See also:century the barony See also:fell to three daughters and co-heiresses, and further subdivisions followed. This probably accounts for the lack of privileges belonging to Nantwich as a corporate town. The only town See also:charter is one of 1567-1568, in which See also:Queen See also:Elizabeth confirms an See also:ancient See also:privilege of the burgesses that they should not be upon assizes or juries with strangers, See also:relating to matters outside the town. It is stated in the charter that the right to this privilege had been proved by an See also:inquisition taken in the 14th century, and had then already been held from time immemorial. There was a gild See also:merchant and also a town See also:bailiff, but the latter See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office was of little real significance and was soon dropped. There is documentary evidence of a See also:castle at Nantwich in the 13th century. There is a weekly market on Saturday, held by See also:prescription. In 1283 a three-days' See also:fair to be held at the feast of St See also:Bartholomew was granted to See also:Robert See also:Burnell, See also:bishop of See also:Bath and See also:Wells (then holder of a See also:share of the barony of Nantwich). This is the " Old Fair " or " Great Fair " now held on the 4th of See also:September. Earl Cholmondeley received a See also:- GRANT (from A.-Fr. graunter, O.

Fairs are now held on the first See also:Thursday in See also:April, See also:June, September and See also:December, and a See also:cheese fair on the first Thursday in each See also:month except See also:January. The salt See also:trade declined altogether in the 18th century, with the exception of one salt-works, which was kept open until 1856. There was a See also:shoe trade in the town as See also:early as the 17th century, and gloves were made from the end of the 16th century until about 1863. See also:Weaving and See also:stocking trades also flourished in the 18th century. The one corn-See also:- MILL
