"After this success the party from Chester marched back to that city, without the loss of one man. But the royalists, being further reinforced by some regiments from Ireland, marched into Cheshire, under the command of sir John, lately created lord Byron, and took Beeston-castle; for which the parliament governor [Captain Thomas Steele] there was soon after executed for cowardice. "Next they engaged sir William Brereton and colonel Ashton at Middlewich, and cut off near two hundred of their men, which occasioned Northwich to be quitted to them, and likewise Crew-house [perhaps modern-day Crewe], after a stout resistance, was forced to surrender; as also Doddington house and Acton-church, without much opposition."
