Lindow Man comes home to his roots Museum Cheshire

ONE of the north west's oldest residents is coming home after a decade away in London - but he'll only be here for a year. Lindow Man is the 2,000-year-old body of an Iron Age man.

It was found in a peat bog at Lindow Moss, Mobberley, near Wilmslow, Cheshire on August 1, 1984.

The figure, also referred to as Pete Marsh, has been on display at the British Museum in London for the past 10 years, but curators at Manchester Museum have been given permission to `borrow' him for a year.

The superbly-preserved body of the Iron Age man - who was bashed on the head, garrotted and had his throat slashed in about 55BC, possibly for ritual reasons - has been on display in Manchester twice before, in 1987 and 1991.

Now he is heading back to the city between April next year and March 2009 and the museum wants to hear the views of local people on how the remains should be displayed.

The Lindow Man! :) by Anonymous on Monday, 04 February 2008
I'm not a spam robot! But I can type!

I think that Lindow Man should've been left to rest but I think it's useful to get the information from him and his time.
