History of Middlewich Cheshire, Middlewich is described as a town which derives its name from standing in the "Middle" of two "Wiches"; namely, between Nantwich and Northwich. The situation of this place is on the river "Croke", 156 miles from London. The prosperity and opulence of this town, like the former [Northwich], may be said to be, principally, "preserved" by "salt"; very considerable quantities being made here. Its weekly market is on a Tuesday; and its two fairs are annually held on 25 July, and on Holy Thursday. Middlewich is a deanery, hath burgesses, and other privileges, as the rest of the "Wiches"
