BIRCHLEY CHAPEL
was originally a private Roman Catholic chapel
at Birchley Hall, Billinge,
the residence of the Anderton family.
The original chapel was built in 1618
and was allegedly the oldest
post-reformation RC chapel in Lancashire.

The family suffered for their faith ~
in 1586 Father Robert Anderton was executed
for being a "popish" priest,
and two others died in the civil war fighting for King Charles I.

Like many private chapels in the period,
it also served the local RC community.
In 1828 a new church was built
which became St Mary's, Billinge,
but the records are continuous with the previous chapel.


Jonathan is buried in St Mary's RC Church cemetary.
