St Peter's church Prestbury. July 2007
St Peter's church dates from 1220 and is entirely constructed with stone quarried from near by Kerridge, as are many of Prestbury's older "store" roofs. The yard is very well kept and extremely attractive with lots of shapely poladed yews and many other beautiful trees including a 700 year old yew, and one of the largest beach trees I have ever seen.

Norman Chapel. Oct 2005.
The Norman Chapel is situated in the grounds of St Peter's and stands on the site of Prestbury's ancient Saxon Village church. The chapel has undergone many renovations over the years, but the doorway and the carved figures above it are original features dating from the early 12th century.
