It presents a detailed exploration of the region's geography, inhabitants, and notable events throughout its history. At the start of "Cheshire," Kelsey introduces the geographical importance of the county, describing its natural features and how they've influenced its historical development. He emphasizes the role of rivers, hills, and the overall landscape in supporting local livelihoods and shaping historical events. The opening chapters outline the significance of Cheshire's position within England—highlighting its ancient connections to various peoples throughout history, including the Britons, Romans, and later Anglo-Saxon groups—setting the stage for the county's rich historical narrative.
