Complementary Local History

Much of the research of history in Nantwich has focused, understandably, on the ‘big four topics’ local salt production from Roman times until its ending by the 1860s; the major fire of 1583; the Battle of Nantwich in 1644; and the story of the medieval St. Mary's Church. We believe that there is a relatively unexplored, yet complementary, narrative that delivers a broader, more diverse, historical context to the history of the town and of the people who live in it. "Nantwich Psychedelia" is one such complementary narrative.
