This week's Footprint on the Ridge relates to Aethelflaed, Lady of Mercia, c870-918.

Daughter of Alfred the Great, King of Wessex, Aethelflaed appears to have been a remarkable young woman with links to the Cheshire Sandstone Ridge.

We continue to populate our 'Footprints on the Ridge' section of the Website with the astonishing stories of individuals who have contributed to the historic and cultural heritage in our landscape.

We look forward to hearing from you.
