ALVANLEY, a chapelry in the parish of FRODSHAM,
second division of the hundred of EDDISBURY,
county palatine of CHESTER, 3 miles (S. S. W.) from
Frodsham, containing 284 inhabitants. The living is
a perpetual curacy, in the archdeaconry and diocese of
Chester, and in the patronage of J. Arden, Esq. The
chapel is dedicated to St. Mary: from 178? till within
these few years the performance of divine service was
discontinued in it, in consequence of the smallness of
the minister's income. Alvanley gives the title of baron
to the Arden family.
