Custodial history:
The chapel of St. George, in the township of Little Bolton, in the parish of Bolton le Moors, was consecrated on 19 August 1796. A District was assigned to it from the parish of Bolton, by Order in Council, 11 August 1841, (London Gazette, 12 November 1841). The original area of the parish was reduced over the years. Part was added to St. John's, Little Bolton, by Order in Council, 6 April 1846, (London Gazette, 10 April 1846). Part was added to St. James the Apostle, Waterloo Street, by Order in Council, 22 April 1872, (London Gazette, 23 April 1872) Part was added to St. Matthew's, Bolton, by Order in Council, 26 October 1875, (London Gazette. 29 October 1875).
