==History==
Great Eccleston was listed in the ''Domesday Book'' of 1086 as ''Eglestun''. In various 13th-century documents it was recorded as ''Ecclisto'', ''Ecleston'' and ''Great Eccleston''.〔 In 1066 when the Normans conquered England, the township of Great Eccleston—then part of the ancient hundred of Amounderness—was in the possession of Tostig Godwinson, the brother of King Harold II.〔 Tostig died at the Battle of Stamford Bridge and his lands were subsequently taken over by the Normans. Between 1069 and 1086 William the Conqueror gave Amounderness to Roger de Poitou, an Anglo-Norman baron.〔 In the ''Domesday Book'', the area of Great Eccleston was estimated at two carucates (ploughlands) of land.〔
The township was originally part of the ecclesiastical parish of St Michael's on Wyre and Great Eccleston's parishioners would have worshipped there at St Michael's Church.〔 In 1723, a chapel of ease to St Michael's was built in a part of Great Eccleston called Copp. It was dedicated to St Anne.〔
