An archaeological watching brief was undertaken in February 2017 during groundworks associated with the construction of a new residential housing development, on land at Rectory Farm, Old Knutsford Road, Church Lawton, ST7 3EQ. The work revealed archaeological and structural remains associated with the mid-nineteenth century rectory building visible on historic Ordnance Survey mapping. These remains were located towards the eastern end of the excavation area and had been heavily truncated, presumably through an earlier phase of demolition, with only the exterior wall of a building, a brick pathway and brick floor surface surviving.
