Nah, wasn't Cheddar Man.
He was a complete skeleton found in a cave.
But as for Peat Bog bodies, some famous ones are Tollund Man in Denmark, from around 400 BC and found in 1950 :

Grauballe Man:

and stacks more like Borremose Woman, Windeby Woman, Elling Woman, Kayhausen Boy, Conycaven Man etc.
All good reading.
