The first known settlers of Frodsham were Anglo-Saxons. The name possibly derives from “ham”, a small village and “Frod”, the leader of this group of Saxons. It may also come from “the Ham on the Ford” over the local river Weaver. Frodsham is mentioned in the Domesday book of 1086 commissioned by William the Conqueror. The war memorial that stands at the top of the hill is visible from almost everywhere in the town and many residents still fondly remember the helter-skelter that was demolished in 1977.
