Hi Ruth, I've had a look on the Macclesfield & District MI's CD's where Prestbury is listed. I can't find any record for memorials inside the church. They all seem to be for the graveyard itself. Someone may be able to go to the church and have a look for you though - I'm a bit too far away.

Ruth I can't help you myself, but have you scoured the Cheshire Hearth Tax returns, especially Macclesfield Hundred in which Prestbury parish lies?
