Willington is a village and civil parish from Chester in Cheshire, England. At the 2011 census, the population was 277.[1]
The village contains a public house (The Boot), farm shop and hotel (Willington Hall).[2]
The placename means "village of a woman called Winflǣd", from the Old English personal name Winflǣd, and the suffix tun for farm or village. The name was recorded in the Domesday Book as Winfletone,[3] (under the ownership of Walter de Vernon and consisting of only two households),[4] and then as Wynlaton in the 12th century.
Willington was previously an extra-parochial area in Eddisbury Hundred, which became a civil parish in 1866. From 1894 the civil parish was within Tarvin Rural District, transferring to the Chester district in 1974.[5]
The Boot Inn occupies a row of red-brick and sandstone cottages that were built in 1815. Behind the pub is Boothsdale, also known as 'Little Switzerland', accessible by a well-used footpath.
Willington Hall was built in 1829 and designed by the Nantwich architect George Latham. It is a designated Grade II listed building.
