Custodial history:
Established in 1860 in the rural deanery of Farnworth primarily for the education of the poorer classes. The church was consecrated by the bishop of Manchester on October 21st 1876 and the first children were baptised there on October 22nd 1876. Prior to 1876 baptisms were undertaken within the parish of Deane. Deane was a chapelry within the parish of Eccles until 1558 when it became an independent parish, comprising the townships of Rumworth, Farnworth, Kearsley, Heaton, Horwich, Halliwell, Westhoughton, Little Hulton, Middle Hulton and Over Hulton. Horwich, Westhoughton and Little Hulton.
During the 19th century these ancient chapelries were assigned their own Districts and new churches were built, thus reducing the size of the original parish, St. John the Baptist, Little Hulton was one of ten (London Gazette, 20 February 1877).
