Acton, Cheshire history
Early history
The civil parish of Acton was on the eastern edge of the Forest of Mondrem in the Bronze Age, giving rise to the name Actune, meaning “oak town” Roman road from Middlewich to Whitchurch passed immediately to the north of the parish, but there is little evidence of settlement .
Civil War
Dorfold Hall was built in 1616–21 for Sir Roger Wilbraham, who served as Solicitor-general for Ireland under Elizabeth I and held positions at court under James I . The estate was purchased in 1602 by Sir Roger, a prominent lawyer . The hall was built on the site of an earlier one, and was built for his brother and heir Ralph .
18th century to the present day
In 1754, the Dorfold Estate was sold to lawyer James Tomkinson, originally from Bostock . The Chester to Nantwich branch of what later became known as the Shropshire Union Canal was completed in 1774, ending just north of the parish at Basin End . The Tomkinson family objected to the route of the latter, leading to the construction of a half-mile embankment including an aqueduct .
