Welcome to the North West Regional Group of the Council for British Archaeology.

We cover the counties of Cheshire and Lancashire, plus Greater Manchester and Merseyside. The archaeology of this region is as diverse as its landscape, from the often-elusive remains of the Iron Age to iconic monuments of the Industrial Revolution.

We are an independent charity funded by our members' subscriptions. Our committee is elected at the AGM and meets five times a year.

We:

• campaign for your heritage 
• bring together those interested in archaeology in the North West 
• support local societies 
• work with other partners in environmental conservation
• encourage and publicise relevant research
• encourage and advertise the opportunities for education and participation

We fulfil these roles through our six-monthly meetings, newsletters, website and journal, as well as working behind the scenes to protect and enhance the historic environment.

Our members:

• help us develop our work in education, conservation and
• raise the profile of archaeology in the minds of decision-makers
