Macclesfield Forest was created by the Earls of Chester and became a Royal Forest in 1237. It was used by the monarch for hunting until the 14th century. Forest chapel was first built in 1673 but the present building dates from 1834. It is famous for its rushbearing service each August which attracts many visitors.
