Hawarden Castle near Chester was a satellite Royalist garrison supporting Chester. Parliament besieged it in early 1646 as part of the final reduction of north Welsh and Cheshire garrisons after Chester fell. The ruins of the medieval castle survived the slighting; a new mansion was later built nearby.
