Knutsford Town & Market

Knutsford - Makers Market 

Knutsford is a pretty market town it’s full of independent shops, quaint cobbled streets and loads of nice places to eat and drink. The town was the inspiration of Elizabeth Gaskell’s Cranford. The author lived in Knutsford for many years and is buried in the churchyard of beautiful Brook Street Unitarian Chapel. The Rose and Crown, a traditional and friendly pub, is home to a fireplace that was first lit in 1641.  Enigma code breaker, Alan Turing’s trial took place in Knutsford’s courthouse and the historical building has now been sympathetically restored as a hotel, bar and restaurant.

Knutsford is home to several Tudor, Georgian, and Victorian buildings but it is the Italianate style of architect Richard Harding Watt who really left his stamp on the town. You must visit Knutsford Heritage Centre situated off a cobbled alleyway on King Street, it is a treasure trove of information about the town.
