'''Prestwich''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|p|r|ɛ|s|t|w|ɪ|tʃ}} {{respell|PREST|witch}}) is a town in the [[Metropolitan Borough of Bury]], [[Greater Manchester]], England,<ref name="GM Gazetteer">{{cite web|url=http://www.gmcro.co.uk/Guides/Gazeteer/gazzo2r.htm |title=Greater Manchester Gazetteer |publisher=Greater Manchester County Record Office |access-date=20 June 2007 |at=Places names – O to R |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110718144358/http://www.gmcro.co.uk/Guides/Gazeteer/gazzo2r.htm |archive-date=18 July 2011 }}</ref> {{convert|
Within the boundaries of the [[Historic counties of England|historic county]] of [[Lancashire]], Prestwich was the seat of the ancient parish of [[Prestwich-cum-Oldham]],
The oldest part of Prestwich, around Bury New Road, is known as Prestwich Village. There is a large Jewish community in Prestwich which, together with neighbouring [[Whitefield, Greater Manchester| Whitefield]], [[Broughton, Greater Manchester|Broughton]] and [[Crumpsall]], makes up the second largest Jewish community in the UK outside London.

Prestwich is possibly of [[Old English]] origin, derived from ''preost'' and ''wic'', which translates to the priest's farm.<ref>{{Harvnb|Mills|1976|p=123}}</ref> Another possible derivation is priest's retreat. Wic was a place-name element derived from the Latin vicus, place. Its most common meaning is dairy-farm.<ref name="domesday">[http://domesdaybook.net/helpfiles/hs855.htm Domesday Book] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120227073738/http://domesdaybook.net/helpfiles/hs855.htm |date=27 February 2012 }}</ref>

===Early history===

[[File:Prestwich Village.jpg|thumb|left|The White Horse (left) and the Railway and Naturalist (right), Prestwich Village]]
Bury New Road roughly follows the line of a [[Roman Empire|Roman]] road connecting forts at ''[[Mamucium]]'' ([[Manchester]]) and ''[[Bremetennacum]]'' ([[Ribchester]]). It is possible that a Roman fort or encampment was built at "Castle Hill", near the [[Salford, Greater Manchester|Salford]] border, mirroring an encampment on Rainsough Hill equidistant from the Roman road.<ref>[
</ref> The camp was "just to the right of the old road to Bury, immediately beyond Singleton Brook, on the first field in the Parish of Prestwich, which was formerly known as Lowcaster". Roman coins have been found off Bury New Road, near Prestwich Golf Course and some in [[Prestwich Clough]].

In the [[hearth tax]] of 1666 there were 97 hearths in the township, the rector's house was the largest with ten.<ref name= vch/> In the 17th and 18th centuries local government was based on the parish structure. The lord of the manor administered [[land tenure]] and [[inheritance]], but law and order was kept by parish constables assisted by the church wardens. The local justices sat in the "Star Chamber" in the Ostrich Inn, now the Church Inn, close to the parish church where the justices' seat can still be seen.<ref>Makepeace, C. E. (1974) ''Prestwich, a brief history''. Prestwich Borough Council</ref> The village had stocks which remained in use until 1800.<ref name= vch/>
===Development===
The settlement grew to serve the parish church making Church Lane the historic centre.<ref name="Love Prestwich"/> In the late 18th century the area was mainly rural with scattered farms and small settlements grew at Great and Little Heaton. The population was estimated at 670. Rooden Lane which became part of Bury Old Road was a centre for hand loom weaving and at [[Simister]] and neighbouring [[Bowlee]], silk weaving was established. During the 19th century another settlement grew around the junction of Fairfax Road and Bury New Road along with another village centre on Bury Old Road. The area between these centres remained rural, however, the arrival of the railway in 1881 encouraged affluent merchants from Manchester to build villas and move to the town.<ref name="Love Prestwich">{{cite journal|last=Anon|title=Love Prestwich: Part 1: Prestwich Today|publisher=Metropolitan Borough of Bury}}</ref>
[[Prestwich Hospital]] was built as an [[History of psychiatric institutions|asylum]] in 1851 and by 1900 it had grown into the largest asylum in Europe.<ref name="Love Prestwich" /> Sedgley Park Teacher Training College was established in Prestwich after the Faithful Companions of Jesus bought a house to accommodate it in 1903.<ref>[https://www.dioceseofsalford.org.uk/diocese/history/ Diocese of Salford; history; former bishops]</ref> When [[Mike Leigh]] was a lecturer at the Catholic women teachers' training college ''Sedgley Park'' he devised and directed two big-cast projects for the [[Manchester Youth Theatre]]: ''Big Basil'' and ''Glum Victoria and the Lad with Specs''.<ref>Coveney, p. 80</ref> The National Archives holds records relating to the college.<ref>[https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C1969657 Manchester, Prestwich, Sedgley Park Training College formerly Salford Training College]; the National Archives</ref>
By 1912 the population had increased to 12,800, and from the 1930s onwards the remaining fields were developed and by 1961 the population reached 31,000 and Prestwich had become a suburb of Manchester.<ref name="Love Prestwich" />
==Governance==
===Political representation===
Prestwich, together with Whitefield and Radcliffe, is part of the marginal [[Bury South (UK Parliament constituency)|Bury South]] Parliamentary [[constituency]], which has been represented by MP [[Christian Wakeford]] since 2019. Wakeford stood as a Conservative
On [[Bury Council]], Prestwich is served by three wards, St Mary's, covering the western half of the town, Holyrood covering the north-east, and Sedgeley to the south. In previous years, they have been represented by all three major political parties, but since the [[2023 Bury Metropolitan Borough Council election|2023 local elections]], all nine seats across the three wards are held by Labour.

In 1867 the Prestwich Local Board of Health was established which, as a result of the [[Local Government Act 1894]], became Prestwich [[Urban district (Great Britain and Ireland)|Urban District]], to which parts of Great and Little Heaton townships were added. In 1903, Heaton Park was added to the City of Manchester, and in 1933, part of the urban district west of the Irwell was added to Swinton and Pendlebury Urban District. Prestwich became a [[municipal borough]] in 1939, with the council based at [[Prestwich Town Hall]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Bid to save old town hall |url=https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/6024446.bid-save-old-town-hall/ |access-date=6 March 2024 |work=Lancashire Telegraph |date=19 June 2001}}</ref> Under the [[Local Government Act 1972]] it became an [[unparished area]] in the [[Metropolitan Borough of Bury]] in Greater Manchester,<ref name="GM Gazetteer"/> taking effect on 1 April 1974 ==Geography==
