Mancetter is a village and civil parish in North Warwickshire, England, where Watling Street crosses the River Anker.

In Roman Britain, a posting station was built along Watling Street close to the river crossing, and a rectangular earthwork of this is still extant.

[3] The much larger legionary fortress of the Legio XIV Gemina was built here by about 50 AD, before the legion moved to Wroxeter in about 55.

[3] Mancetter has been suggested as a possible location of the Defeat of Boudica, between an alliance of indigenous British peoples led by Boudica and a Roman army led by Gaius Suetonius Paulinus, although the exact location is unknown.

By the time of the Norman Conquest in 1066 ceaster was probably pronounced roughly like modern "Chester".
