In the drought of 1995 Ann and John Hearle, the residents of the Old Vicarage, noticed crop marks in and around their garden, which proved to be the deep ditch
of a remarkable and previously unsuspected Iron Age Hilltop Settlement.

They set up the Mellor Archaeological Trust to investigate this further and volunteers led by Archaeologists from the University of Manchester uncovered remarkable evidence of 10,000 years of History in the area.

This website tells the unfolding story of the work of the Trust in discovering not only the archaeology of the area but also researching the history of the whole of the Parish through the Mellor Heritage Project.
