History

In the 1610 translated edition of William Camden's Britannia, this area is described as

Ellesmer a little Template:Not a typo but rich and fruitfull[3]

Ellesemere Rural was created in 1894 when the civil functions of the larger ancient parish of Ellesmere were abolished and divided between this parish and the town of Ellsemere, which became a separate civil parish called Ellesmere Urban.[4] Despite several changes to the parish boundary during the twentieth century[5] the parish population has remained relatively stable since the 1930s.[6]
