St. Alban's Church, Tattenhall It is thought that a church may have existed on this site at the time of the Norman conquest. The tower and parts of the present church date from the early 16th century. The church was restored and largely remodelled in 1869–70. During this time the remains of an earlier church which had been destroyed by fire were discovered. Also discovered were a skeleton of a large man outside the north wall and a coffin containing bones under the floor of the church.

Cheshire Ice Cream Farm I believe this is the same building as <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/160757">SJ4959 : Cheshire Farm</a> (which may have incorrect photo subject location). This building, which I suspect has been re-clad, now houses a cafe and a soft play. The whole facility has been significantly overhauled in the intervening 17 years.
