"ADLINGTON, a township in the parish of PRESTBURY, hundred of MACCLESFIELD, county palatine of CHESTER, 5 miles (N. by W.) from Macclesfield, containing 1057 inhabitants. There are some valuable mines of coal and quarries of flag-stone. Adlington Hall, a very ancient structure, which has long been the residence of the family of Legh, was garrisoned for Charles I. in the civil war, and taken by the parliamentarian forces, on the 14th of February, 1645, after a fortnight's siege: in the south-east angle is a small domestic chapel, handsomely fitted up, licensed by the Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry in the 25th of Henry VI. A manorial court is held twice a year, in May and December, at which debts under 40s. are recoverable." [From Samuel Lewis A Topographical Dictionary of England (1831) ©Mel Lockie]
