This is a list of
Christian churches in the
ceremonial county of
Cheshire , England.
The
Anglican churches in the county are either part of the
diocese of Chester or the
diocese of Liverpool . Since the mid nineteenth century, Chester diocese has been divided into two
archdeaconries , the Chester Archdeaconry and the Macclesfield Archdeaconry. Each archdeaconry is divided into a number of
deaneries , some of which are outside the ceremonial county of Cheshire.
[1] All the Cheshire churches in the diocese of Liverpool are in Warrington Archdeaconry.
[2] When the diocese was originally created in 1541, it was much larger with twenty deaneries and no archdeaconries.
