The site of the church of St Chad is a scheduled ancient monument located in Cheshire, England, representing the remains of an early medieval ecclesiastical foundation. The church is traditionally associated with Saint Chad, a seventh-century missionary bishop active in the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of the Midlands, though the surviving physical evidence reflects later medieval construction and use. The site preserves archaeological remains indicative of continuous ecclesiastical occupation from the early medieval period through the medieval and post-medieval phases. Its significance lies in its potential to illuminate early Christian settlement patterns and the development of parochial organisation in north-west England.
