Hawarden Village and Manor.
Hawarden, in Flintshire, lies 6 miles West of Chester, at a height of 250
feet, overlooking a large tract of Cheshire and the Estuary of the Dee.
It is now in direct communication with the Railway world by the opening
of the Hawarden and Wirral lines. It is also easily reached from
Sandycroft Station, or from Queen's Ferry, (1.5 m.)--whence the Church is
plainly seen--or again from Broughton Hall Station (2.25m.). The Glynne
Arms offers plain but comfortable accommodation. There are also some
smaller hostelries, and a Coffee House called "The Welcome."
The Village consists of a single street, about half a mile in length. Two
Crosses formerly stood in it; the Upper and the Lower, destroyed in 1641.
The site of the Lower Cross, at the eastern end, is marked by a Lime tree
planted in 1742.
