Daresbury is a village, civil parish and ward
in the unitary authority of Halton and part
of the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England.
It is covered by the Weaver Vale constituency.
At the 2001 Census, the population of the parish was

The most notable attributes of Daresbury are
that it was the birthplace
of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland author Lewis Carroll
(real name Charles Dodgson).
Daresbury has become a place of pilgrimage because
of the Lewis Carroll association.
There is a recently completed Lewis Carroll Visitor Centre.
The parish church of All Saints has a Lewis Carroll window, including an image of the Cheshire Cat.
Inside Daresbury Church you can see the
stained glass window devoted to Lewis Carroll's work.
