The Parish Church of St Peter is believed to be built on a site of ancient worship that boasted a church since Saxon times.
The existing building was constructed in the 1860s to replace a dilapidated and run down 14th century church, and act as a symbol of wealth for Bolton. The original tenor bell from 1699 was retained and still hangs in the bell tower today.
As with Paley and Austin's Church of All Souls, the architects attempted to create a large unobstructed internal space for worship. As a result there are no pews.
The layout of the church features a four stage tower set to the north of the nave, creating a strong western front.
