Site Event/Activity record ECH4077 - Castle Park, Frodsham, Cheshire: Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment & Site Visit

An archaeological desk-based assessment and site visit were undertaken in 2004 for a site at Castle Park, located on the south-west side of Frodsham, to the west of the A56. Castle Park is a Grade II listed park and garden. It was an extensive estate during the medieval and post medieval periods.The size of the estate has reduced over the last hundred years and it is now owned by Vale Royal Borough Council. The site includes the main entrance of the park, recreational areas, and the house known as 'Park Place', together with its outbuildings and gardens. Park Place was built in the eighteenth century on the site of a seventeenth century castle/house which burnt down in 1654. The development proposals comprise the renovation and restoration of the park, including Park Place and its ancilliary buildings. (1)
