Picton is a hamlet and former civil parish, now in the parish of Mickle Trafford and District, situated near to Chester, in the borough of Cheshire West and Chester and the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England.
The name derives partly from a personal noun, with Pica's-tūn, meaning Pica's settlement or farmstead.[1] Lower Kinnerton was formerly a township in the parish of Plemonstall,[2] in the Broxton Hundred, in 1866 Picton became a civil parish,[3] its population was 138 in 1801, 155 in 1851, 141 in 1901, 119 in 1951 and 58 in the 2001 census.[4][5] On 1 April 2015 the parish was abolished to form Mickle Trafford and District.[4][6]
In 1995, aerial photography showed evidence of a Roman practice fort in the parish.[7][8]
Picton Hall and Picton Hall Farmhouse are designated by English Heritage as a Grade II listed building. It is the only listed building in the parish.[9]
