Una historia de Altrincham y Bowdon, con una cuenta de la baronía y casa de Dunham . No puede presumir de una fecha en Kostherne likethat, de 11S8, aunque no hay duda,Bowdon es mucho más antigua ; tampoco se registró que había un convento de canónigos regulares de la Orden de San Agustín, como su relación en Mobberley, o cualquiera de los Prasmonstaten-sians, como habitó en Warburton, antiguamente escrito Wur-burgetone ; pero lo cierto es que en la encuesta de Domesday,como ya se ha observado, se atribuye a un sacerdote, dotado munificently thechurch probablemente con muchos fatfallows.

A history of Altrincham and Bowdon, with an account of the Barony and house of Dunham . It cannot boast a date likethat at Kostherne, of 11S8, although, there is no doubt, Bowdon is much older ; neither is it recorded that it had a priory of regular canons of the Order of St. Augustine, like its relation at Mobberley, or any of the Prasmonstaten-sians, such as dwelt at Warburton, anciently spelled Wur-burgetone ; but it is certain that at the Domesday Survey, as already noticed, there was a priest attached to thechurch, munificently endowed probably with many fatfallows. It is also certain that the church existed a verylong time prior to the Conquest. The planting of yew treesin churchyards, on account of their sombre and funerealaspect, is a relic of the Saxon Christianity which had spreadover the land, and the custom prevailed at Bowdon. Thereare several growing now in the churchyard, and one inparticular is, judging from calculations made of the growthof such trees, upwards of 800 years old. According to oneauthority, it is even said to have been planted in the seventh u. X L r ID History of Altrincham and Bowdon. 17 century. It is a gnarled sturdy-looking veteran, but muchthe worse for its thousand years (supposed) exposure onthe hilltop. The view from the churchyard is the finest in thedistrict. It embraces a vast expanse of lovely scenery, including the beautiful valley of the Bollin, backed inthe distance by Alderley Edge, the hills of Derbyshireand Staffordshire, and many other features of interest.The church is dedicated to St. Mary, whose feast iskept annually by wakes held in the month of September.This feast was formerly celebrated on the 8th September, being the nativity of the Virgin, but it is now held on the1st Sunday after the full moon succeeding the 14th Septem-ber. Those who are familiar with the manner in which itis kept in modern times feel that it has fallen from itshigh estate. Leycester says that the word Wakes orfast day is derived from the Lati
