Aldford is a village and civil parish in the county of Cheshire, England, south of Chester (grid reference SJ420592). Most of the building stock was constructed as a designed village in the middle of the 19th century by Sir Richard Grosvenor, 2nd Marquess of Westminster, in almost rectangular form.[1] A number of buildings in the village were designed by the architect John Douglas. These include the Grade II listed St John's church[2] and the Grosvenor Arms public house.[3] The remains of Aldford Castle consisting of earthworks and a few fragments of stone can be found immediately to the north of the church.[4]
The village is reputed to be in the possession of the Grosvenor Estate, although there is a chapel which has been sold as living accommodation on the open market.[citation needed]
Eaton Hall and the Roman road Watling Street are outside the village.
