Overview

History & significance

Site of St John's Church and surrounding burial ground, 400m NW of Booths Mere, is a scheduled ancient monument consisting of the earthwork remains of a medieval church and its associated cemetery. The site is located in Cheshire and represents the physical traces of an ecclesiastical settlement of medieval date, though the exact period of establishment and use requires reference to local archaeological records. The monument survives as earthworks indicating the former presence of a church structure and the layout of burials within the churchyard, providing evidence of religious and community activity in this part of Cheshire during the medieval period. The survival of the site in earthwork form rather than as upstanding masonry suggests abandonment at some point in its history, making it an important archaeological record of a lost settlement.
