About Chorley

Chorley is located in Lancashire, England. It is situated 11 miles north-west of Bolton and 8.1 miles north of Wigan. The wealth of this country is due to the cotton industry.

It did not get its place in Domesday Book even as it is considered as twelve Berewicks in Leyland hundred. In mid-thirteenth century, it appeared in historical records around 1250. 

St Laurence’s Church is the oldest building in Chorley. It has appeared in historical records after its creation. In the 12th century, the people believe that the church is named after Saint Laurence who was an Irish Saint. The bones of Saint Laurence were given to the church by Sir Rowland Standish.
