Community Assembly of Cheshire
Serving, supporting and protecting our local communities.
About us
The Community Assembly of Cheshire is located in the midlands level with the northern end Wales. Cheshire's county town is the cathedral city of Chester and its most populated town is Warrington.
Cheshire's name was originally derived from an early name for Chester, and was first recorded as Legeceasterscir in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, meaning "the shire of the city of legions". Although the name first appears in 980, it is thought that the county was created by Edward the Elder around 920. In the Domesday Book, Chester was recorded as having the name Cestrescir (Chestershire), derived from the name for Chester at the time.
Cheshire covers a boulder clay (gravel) plain separating the hills of North Wales and the Peak District (the area is also known as the Cheshire Gap). This was formed following the retreat of ice age glaciers which left the area dotted with kettle holes (potholes), locally referred to as meres. The bedrock of this region is almost entirely Triassic sandstone, outcrops of which have long been quarried.
Community Assemblies are made up of residents concerned about a lack of democratic process at a local and national level, dedicated to preserving and asserting our inalienable rights and obligations to ourselves, the Earth and future generations.
