Chester
Cheshire
Chester is a genuine Roman city, built four-square, within walls, which remain to this day.
Padeswood
Near which is Leeswood, seat of J. W. Egton, Esq., and Plas Newydd, the Marquis of Anglesea’s; thence we soon reach Llong, near which is a tower, the old three-storied and machicolated seat of the Wynnes, where the Mayor of Chester was murdered by the Welsh Prince Reinallt in 1475.
