Cheadle is an ancient manor, formerly in north Cheshire, that has its historical origins in Anglo-
Saxon times. This booklet will show how evidence of human settlement extends back much
earlier though, with stone tools and weapons, and burial remains from the prehistoric period,
as well as a number of Roman fi nds. The fi rst archaeological investigations in the village took
place as recently as 2005, and since then there have been several important archaeological
projects. This booklet provides an opportunity to present the results of this important work,
which is transforming our knowledge of early Cheadle.
