Nantwich is a market town in the Crewe and Nantwich borough of Cheshire, England.

[http://www.crewe-nantwich.gov.uk/business/town_centre_management/nantwich_walk.aspx Borough of Crewe & Nantwich: Nantwich town centre walk] (accessed 5 October 2007)] Nantwich's listed buildings include many timber-framed buildings dating from the 16th and 17th centuries. In addition, there are many fine Georgian town houses and some examples of Victorian corporate architecture. The listed buildings are clustered particularly in the centre of the town on Barker Street, Beam Street, Churchyard Side, High Street and Hospital Street, and extending across the River Weaver on Welsh Row.

Unusual listed structures include an aqueduct carrying the Shropshire Union Canal, a mounting block on Welsh Row, and three sets of cast-iron bollards by the parish church.
