The town was besieged by Lord Byron's Royalist troops for six weeks until 25th January 1644 when Thomas Fairfax joined forces with Nantwich and defeated them. People still celebrate Holly Holy Day on the day the siege ended by enacting the battle and wearing sprigs of holly to commemorate those who died.
