Description
The Cheshire Sheaf was a “Notes and Queries” type of publication which ran intermittently from 1878 to 1990. At various dates it was under the editorship of such notable local historians as Thomas Hughes, J P Earwaker, Francis Sanders and William Fergusson Irvine (jointly) and finally Canon Maurice Ridgway. Its six series contained some 14,000 individual items, and ran in total to over 8,000 pages. It was originally published as a column in the weekly Chester Courant newspaper; and then successively in the Cheshire Observer, the Deesider and the Cheshire and Wirral Times until the latter’s own demise. Each year up to the end of the Fourth Series in 1971 (apart from 1946 and 1947) the columns were reprinted in volume form. The Fifth Series was reprinted in two volumes, but the Sixth Series was not reprinted.
