About

Malpas ward is situated in the rural south-west of Cheshire West and Chester, bordering Shropshire and Wales.

The settlement pattern is one of scattered farms and historic buildings, including the prominent St Oswald's Church on a hilltop in the village. The local economy is closely linked to the land, with a focus on dairy and arable farming. The ward's position near the Welsh Marches contributes to a distinct historical character evident in its older architecture and parish boundaries.
