Page "Wilmslow" Paragraph 4

Much about the local Iron Age history of Wilmslow was uncovered with the discovery of Lindow Man, in Lindow Moss.

Preserved in the peat bogs for 2000 years, Lindow Man is one of the most important Iron Age finds in the country.

Despite a campaign to keep Lindow Man in the area, he was transferred to the British Museum and is a central feature of the Iron Age exhibition.

Lindow Man returned to Manchester Museum in April 2008 for a year long exhibition.
