Peover Superior

Peover Superior is a former civil parish, now in the parish of Peover Superior and Snelson, in the unitary authority area of Cheshire East and the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England. It is described by the Office for National Statistics as a village surrounded by inhabited countryside. The civil parish included the village of Over Peover and the hamlet of Peover Heath. In 2011 the parish had a population of 666.

Peover Superior is named after The Peover Eye river, which forms one of the parish boundaries. There is also a nearby village named Peover Inferior; the two areas are so named due to their standing on the river, with Peover Superior being higher up and Peover Inferior lower down on the river.

Peover Superior is home to St Lawrence's Church, Over Peover which is a designated National Heritage Grade I listed building. The church was first listed on 5 March 1959. The church was built in three stages which started in 1456 when the South Chapel was built. This was followed by the building of both the North Chapel and the Tower in 1648 and 1741 respectively. The Nave of the church was finished in 1811 and soon after the church was opened.

Peover Superior is also home to a primary school, Peover Superior Endowed Controlled Primary School which is situated in the centre of the village at the corner of Stocks Lane and Chelford Lane. The school holds up to 77 children.

There is also an established Cricket Club in the centre of the village, which has both first and second teams playing in Meller Braggins Cheshire Cricket League.

East Cheshire Sunday Football League team Peover FC play their home games in Over Peover at Peover park on Stocks Lane.

In 1870–72, John Marius Wilson of the Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Over Peover as:

From 1866 Peover Superior was a civil parish in its own right, on 1 April 2023 the parish was abolished and merged with Snelson to form "Peover Superior and Snelson".
