Revealing Cheshire's Past
Revealing Cheshire's Past is a Heritage Lottery Funded project.
Its aim is to increase access to the County Historic Environment
Record (CHER).
The CHER is the database of all the known
archaeological sites and finds in Cheshire, Halton and Warrington.
It contains over 7000 records from prehistory to more recent
times.
The project has created new ways for you to access this
information.
A database allows you to find out more about individual
archaeological sites and finds in the county. You can consult the database here or in libraries in
Cheshire
Our community exhibition can be seen
at libraries and community venues around the county. It provides an
overview of the archaeology of Cheshire.
A travelling exhibition, showing some
of the archaeological objects discovered in Cheshire, was shown at
museums across the county from January 2006.
A series of fact sheets will help you
find out about Cheshire's archaeology in more detail.
Cheshire Rising is the Revealing Cheshire's Past poem,
written by John Lindley, Cheshire Poet Laureate, to launch the
project in October 2004
