I was born in Prestwich North Manchester and have lived in Prestbury, near Macclesfield, Cheshire for the last 28 years.

It never occurred to me before now to make the comparison, it turns out that both place names are derived from similar historical meanings.

Prestwich, is Anglo-Saxon and means “the Priests’ enclosure” or the enclosed land of the Priests.

Prestbury means a priest's fortified enclosure.

Prestbury still contains the priests house which dates back to the 16th century
