Bolton le Moors (also known as Bolton le Moors St Peter) was a civil parish and ecclesiastical parish of the hundred of Salford in the historic county of Lancashire, England. It was administered from St Peter's Church, Bolton in the township of Great Bolton. ==History== Bolton le Moors was originally a part of the ancient parish of Eccles, but in the 14th century it became a parish in its own right.〔(The parish of Bolton-le-Moors ). ''British History Online''. Retrieved on 15 March 2009.〕 The parish corresponded roughly to what is now the town of Bolton and some surrounding areas. As with many large parishes in the north of England, it was divided into townships in 1662 to make administration easier.〔(Local Authority Records: Townships And Civil Parishes ).

In 1866, the civil parish of Bolton le Moors was abolished and the townships became civil parishes in their own right.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bolton le Moors AP/CP )〕 These townships, later civil parishes, were used for the censuses until 1891, after which most were absorbed into the County Borough of Bolton or became urban districts. Anglezarke and Rivington became part of the Chorley Rural District. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bolton le Moors」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
