Places: St Peter Bolton

(See Hundreds And Parishes for background of Parish organisation)

St Peter is the parish church of Bolton, with origins in the 15th century but rebuilt in 1866. It was once the parish church of a large parish, often referred to as Bolton-Le-Moors, covering many surrounding towns until the parish was broken up in the 1840s due to an increasing population.

Several ancestors from Blackrod had ceremonies here before St Katherine Blackrod was a separate parish.
