Edgar's Field II

In 973 the English King Edgar brought his fleet to Chester, shortly after his coronation in Bath. Legend has it that he was rowed up the River Dee by eight British princes to attend a service in St John's Church. This act symbolised their recognition of Edgar as their overlord. Edgar's Field is said by some to be the location of Edgar's Palace and the place from which he was rowed. It is now home to a children's playground.
