		The first written evidence for a church in Poulton is a document drawn up in 1094 when Roger de Poitou, the Norman knight to whom Amounderness had been granted after the Conquest, presented the church in Poulton to the Abbey at Sees in Normandy.
		This was accepted practice, and Poulton church, together with other churches in Amounderness, remained in the hold of the Norman Abbey until Henry IV dissolved the power of foreign abbeys to hold land in England.
		Until the early nineteenth century, when the Victorians began a major programme of church building on the Fylde Coast, the parish of St Chad, Poulton stretched from what is now Squires Gate Lane in Blackpool, where it met the parish of Lytham, to the banks of the River Wyre where Fleetwood now stands.

	The Jollys of Mythop
		By the early eighteenth century, the Jollys of Mythop had emerged as one of the most notable Fylde families, minor gentry whose name and title - The Masters of Mythop - were synonymous with the rich mosslands of Amounderness and their historic development as "the granary of Lancashire" (Guppy 1890; Clarke 1916,1917).
		The Hundred of Amounderness itself is centred on the lowland district of western Lancashire known as the Fylde, bordered to the south by the Ribble and to the north by the Wyre.
		Amounderness derives its name from Agmundr, a Norse warlord who died in battle in the Ribble Valley in 911.

		It tells of the ancient days before that great inroad of the sea which broke down the high firs of the western forest of Amounderness, and left behind it those tracts of sand and shingle that are now called the Blowing Sands.
		For many a day the land lay in salt swamp till the sands were blown over it and buried the fallen timber; and afterwards the very name of Forest was forgotten, and the people called all that part the Field-lands.
		Then were seen those terrible days when ships sailed the seas with crews of dead men, and when on land there was burying without sorrow and flight without safety, for though many fled they could not escape the evil, and so many died that the wells of sorrow ran dry.

		To simplify this enormous task the county has been broken down into ancient Hundreds of Amounderness, Blackburn, Leyland, Lonsdale, West Derby and Salford.
