Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Vale Royal of England, or the County Palatine of Chester Illustrated: Abridged and Revised With Notes, Historical and Explanatory
The county, albeit in most places plat and even, yet hath certain Hills of Name, as Frodsham and Peckforton Hills, Congleton Edge, 850. It aboundeth also in Pasture, Meadow, and Wood-land, and Waters in great store, of which more hereafter.
The Heaths or Mosses are common, out of which they dig turves in Summer, every man as shall serve his turn, to burn all the year. Moreover, in these Mosses are Fir trees found under the ground (a thing marvellous, ) in some places Six foot deep, or more; which trees are of a marvellous length, and straight, having branches, and roots at the end, like as they had been blown down with Weather; and yet no man can tell that ever any such trees did grow there, nor yet how they should come thither. Some hold opinion that they have lain there ever since Noah's Flood.
