Abstract:		 An archaeological excavation was conducted on land at St Peter's churchyard, Prestbury, Cheshire. The project involved the archaeological excavation of foundations for an extension to the church and a watching brief during any additional groundworks. St Peter's Church was the head of one of the largest medieval parishes in Cheshire and was probably established in the Anglo-Saxon period. There are few physical remains relating directly to Anglo-Saxon church buildings, though fragments of two Anglo-Saxon stone crosses were found re-used in the church walls in the 19th century. The trenches found articulated human burials in nine of the ten trenches excavated at a depth of c. 0.85 to 2.15m below ground level. All of the burials were 150 - 250 years old and the majority were within badly decayed wooden coffins with corroded iron coffin plates. The partial and fully articulated remains of up to 35 individuals were recorded. The only significant artefact found was a section of medieval cross slab, a grave marker of the 13th-14th century found in the foundations to the vestry during the watching brief phase.
