History
On any Saxon map of England on south Lancashire region, you will soon find the position of "Calchuth" or "Celchyth." On these very early maps and deeds the name is also written as "Kilcheth," "Kylchith," and "Kilshaw." It is believed to derive from the Celtic, 'at the edge of a wood,' 'black wood' or 'retreat in a wood.' Although the less likely Anglo-Saxon alternative, 'shoe-shaped heath' has also been suggested.
Another suggestion is that the name is Norman, from one of the families who settled in the area. Four families settled in the region, including the de Culcheths, de Risleys and de Holcrofts, and each contributed part of their Crest to the crest of Culcheth. The area is known to have been established before or around the time of the Norman invasion, from its mention in the Domesday Book. A line drawing entitled Domesday Book from Andrew Williamss Historic Byways and Highways of Old England. ...
Until 1974, Culcheth was in Lancashire but was moved into Cheshire by the local government reorganisation.
