October 23, 2026, Kitty's Stone

The viewpoint on Bickerton Hill is dominated by this memorial called Kitty's Stone. Kitty was the wife of Leslie Wheeldon who helped the National Trust acquire the northern end of Bickerton Hill in 1991.

It was built in 1839 as a chapel of ease to St Oswald's in Malpas, because the local population was growing quickly. The architect was Edmund Sharpe from Lancaster, who was well known for his Gothic Revival churches. The land was donated by Sir Philip Grey Egerton of Oulton, and the money was raised by public subscription. Around £2,000 was collected in total, but only £700 of that was spent on building the church itself. Another £300 went towards a house for the minister, and the rest was invested to provide an income for him. The church also received a grant of £120 from the Incorporated Church Building Society. It was consecrated on the 7th of January 1840 by John Sumner, the Bishop of Chester, and it became a separate parish church in its own right in 1869. It is Grade II listed and is still an active parish church. In the churchyard, overlooking the crossroads, there is a war memorial.

A good Christian welcome of the Sermon on the Mount sort - tea, coffee and milk offered for anyone who drops in 😊. Make it yourself and place a donation in the offering box. And a toilet round the back 😊! Church blesses the community 😊👏👏. Well done and thank you!

This bridge is probably out of service for the time being, due to a nearby breach in the canal.

Excellent hike, but needs a bit of negotiation. My advice would be stay on the road for first 11/2 mile

Victoria Jubilee Park is a large open park with neatly kept flower beds and grassed areas. There is a children’s play area, a bandstand and a number of picnic benches.
