VIKING invaders helped bring the curtain down on the final weekend of celebrating 1100 years of the ancient “cyty” of Thelwall. Thanks to more than £37, 000 funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, organisers of the Thelwall 1100 Festival have been delivering a programme of celebration events between 9 – 24th September, supporting a range of commemorative projects and legacies for the community over the next two years. Thelwall celebrated 1100 years of ‘cyty’ status by marking the occasion with Viking Re-Enactment and Living History, setting up camp on Chaigeley field. Living history displays included crafts, food, medicines, clothing and battles. A fortified village was established at Thelwall in 923, in the reign of King Edward the Elder, which is mentioned in two very early sources, including the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. King Edward made Thelwall a “Cyty.”
