St Peter's Church Bolton le Moors

I'm confused!

John Tattersall married Maria Bridge at this church 14 July 1834 (according to IGI).  However, according to a potted history of Bolton, the church was not consecrated until the mid 1870's.

Is there more than one church of this name in Bolton?

St Peter's parish church was rebuilt in the late 1860s and the new church building was consecrated on 29 Jun 1871 (St Peter's day).  However there has been a church on the site since at least the 13 th century and probably earlier.

Although I'm not a regular churchgoer I went to a carol service there last Christmas - a friend of mine is a minister at the church - and had a look at the various displays of historical items there - very interesting.

Hi Hilary

Many thanks for your reply.  I should have thought of that one!
