In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Rudheath like this:
RUDHEATH, a township in Davenham parish, Cheshire; on the Trent and Mersey canal, 2 miles S E of Northwich. Acres, 1, 961. Real property, £4, 388. Pop., 411. Houses, 72. The manor belonged to the Draklows, passed to the Crown, was given to the Portland family, and went by sale to the Marshalls. R. Heath was the scene of an action, in 1643, between theroyalists and the parliamentarians. There are a chapel of ease and a national school.
