Macefen
Macefen is a civil parish in the unitary authority of Cheshire West and Chester and the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England. It lies east of the village of Malpas and north west of Whitchurch, Salop. Part of the village of No Man's Heath lies within the northern boundary of Macefen. Its name is thought to possibly be an anglicisation of an older Welsh placename Maes-y-ffin, "the open field (''maes'') at the boundary (''ffin'')".〔Dodgson, ''The Place-names of Cheshire'', 1972, p. 37〕
Macefen is a slightly curious parish in that it scarcely appears in gazeteers. Under the manorial system Macefen was a manor of the Barony of Malpas, and was for many years part of the estates of the Grosvenor family.〔Hansall, ''The History of the County Palatine of Chester'', 1817, p.340〕 Later it was a township of the parish of Malpas, and later still its boundaries became those of a civil parish. Kelly's Directory of Cheshire, 1914
(lists Macefen ) under Tushingham cum Grindley thus: "Macefen (or Maesfen) is a small township in the Whitchurch union, 2 miles south from Malpas station. The Hon. Mrs. Algernon R. Parker, who has a residence here ( on the north side of Bradley Lane ), is lady of the manor and sole landowner." It never had its own church but was served by adjacent churches.〔(GenUKI page about Macefen parish )〕
