Web site
Did you know that a Waterloo veteran is buried at Bollington? His name can be found in our website News Archive.
Although some of these records can be found on other websites, nowhere else is such extensive coverage available. And it’s free to use, although we would be grateful for donations from those who find the search facilities useful.
The web site includes searchable burial registers 1835-2004 and memorial inscriptions (gravestones 1835-2012 and columbarium 1953-2012).
The research page describes what is in the database and the search options are found at the bottom of this page. Visitors should read through the introduction the first time they visit to get a clear idea of what is and is not available.
The Anglican Church in Bollington is very much alive, writes Revd. Veronica Hydon, and especially looks forward to welcoming newcomers of all ages at our main Sunday Service at 10.30am at St Oswald’s Church. We have a small play area set aside in church for the use of young children and their parents/carers during all our services. The main Sunday Service remains a Parish Communion at 10.30am, followed by coffee/tea/juice/sherry and occasionally cake! On the first Sunday of the month, there is now a relaxed 10.30am Family Service (which normally doesn’t include Holy Communion) at which children and adults of all ages are welcome! There is also a short said service of Holy Communion on those first Sundays at 9am.
We also now hold a weekday service of Holy Communion on Thursdays at 9.30am, after which the church remains open for refreshments, chat, visiting or private prayer from 10am till 11.30am. Everyone welcome!
The history of the Anglican Church in Bollington is covered in the book by the Revd. R Norton Betts, Bollington Through the Centuries, available from the Discovery Centre.
A modern history of St Oswald’s Church, St Oswald’s Church, Bollington – the First 100 Years, has been written by Chris Ward and is available from the church and the Discovery Centre.
