Purr-n-Fur UK: Lewis Carroll's Cheshire Cat Cheshire is a dairy county, long noted for its cheese and dairy products, and there used to be a cheese warehouse on the banks of the river Dee in the county town of Chester, when that fair city was also a port. The cat could have been derived from Cheshire's early heraldry; the arms of the first Earl of Chester were inscribed with the Lions of England, for example. In the church is a 'sedilia' — a seat for the clergy — built into the wall, and at one end of it is the carved stone face of a lion. www.purr-n-fur.org.uk /fabled/cheshire/cheshirecat.html   (1250 words)
