Historic Churches in Cheshire

Architectural historian Nickolaus Pevsner called Marton church 'one of the architectural gems of Cheshire', and when you see this delightful little timber-framed church it is easy to see why; it is one of the earliest and best-preserved timber-framed churches in England, indeed, in all of Europe

St Lawrence Church at Over Peover is an odd building, a curious mix of medieval and later Georgian architecture. It began in the 12th century as a chapel of ease for Rostherne, 7 miles distant. The Georgian nature of the church is most immediately obvious, as a curious two-faced sundial memorial dated to 1717 stands at the entrance to the footpath leading to the church. In the churchyard is a restored preaching cross thought to have been damaged by Parliamentary troops during the Civil War.

Siddington church stands on a hill overlooking the A34 on one side and idyllic countryside on the other. It is apart from the village core as if it wandered off to gain some privacy. The first church here dates to the 14th century, but the earliest written record we have dates to 1474 when it appears to have been a chapel of ease for Prestbury, or possibly a domestic chapel for the Fittons of Siddington Hall.
