Rowton is a small, largely rural civil parish in Cheshire West and Chester, England, just outside the city of Chester. The landscape is characterised by farmland, hedgerows and scattered houses, and includes the historic open ground of Rowton Heath and the notable country house Rowton Hall.
The parish is historically marked by the 1645 Battle of Rowton Heath from the English Civil War; that legacy, together with farming and a modest amount of country-house tourism, shapes local identity. Today it functions as a quiet commuter and agricultural community with a small, close-knit population and strong links into nearby Chester for services and commerce.
