Heswall is a town in Wirral, in the county of Merseyside, England. The history of Heswall stretches beyond the Doomsday Book where it is listed as 'Eswelle', a derivation of 'Hazel Well'. Right into the nineteenth century Heswall was a small village, with a small hamlet centred around St. Peter's Church, with cottages dotted around the heathland. Heswall began to prosper when wealthy merchants from Liverpool set up holiday retreats because of the spectacular views across the Dee to Wales, and the attractive countryside and the invigorating fresh air. Before local government reorganisation on 1 April 1974 it was part of the county of Cheshire.
