Knutsford is a town in the county of Cheshire in the north west of England, east of Northwich, and west of Wilmslow. The origins of the name are unclear: some believe it means "Canute's ford" (where Canute crossed the River Lily), others think it means "neat's ford", a crossing place for cattle. Knutsford was the model for Elizabeth Gaskell's novel Cranford. She lived in the town for a time. North of Knutsford is Tatton Hall. It is included in the Tatton parliamentary constituency. Knutsford is also the birthplace of Henry Royce, of Rolls-Royce and the main town in the constituency of Tatton, which is the most affluent outside of London.
