Background

History

St Oswald's was built in 1907–08 to a design by F. P. Oakley, and consecrated on 22 October 1908. In the 2000s two local Anglican churches closed, the Church of St John the Baptist in 2003, and the mission church of Holy Trinity in 2010. Consequently, St Oswald's has become the parish church of Bollington.
