<ref>''<small>Article researched and written by Ralph Earlam, June 2019, Hoole History & Heritage Society</small>''</ref>From medieval times parts of both Hoole and Newton were in the ecclesiastical parish of Plemstall. In the 9th century AD it is alleged that a hermit called [[Plegmund]] lived on the “Isle of Chester” located on marshland near the River Gowy, which was prone to flooding. He was a learned man, a scholar and a man of god. Local people visited him to receive a blessing. King Alfred sent for him to become one of his spiritual advisors and he was eventually appointed Archbishop of Canterbury, travelling to Rome at least twice.
