St John the Baptist Vicarage, Shrigley Road, Bollington

Bollington parish came under the jurisdiction of the vicar of Prestbury, the Rev Reginald Edmund Broughton, who had earlier commissioned Newton to design the new vicarages at Prestbury and Lower Withington. The Bollington vicarage is quite different in appearance to the previous two, and like most buildings in the village is built of stone with a slate roof. The cost of £2,000 was partly funded by Queen Anne’s Bounty. The church of St John the Baptist was closed in 2003, and the parish amalgamated with St Oswald’s at Bollington Cross. The vicarage is now in private ownership. [Richard Fletcher]
