| | St Gregorys RC Church Bollington |
 | | Finance came from the Cheshire Fund, helped by the generosity of John, Earl of Shrewsbury, whose donation of £100 was allocated to St Gregory's in 1835. |
 | | This intrepid priest, who was to remain in Macclesfield for 55 years, until his death, served the people of Bollington for about ten years, though other priests gradually came on the scene: Fr Roger Glassbrook, Fr Edward Kenrick and Fr John Reah, this last-mentioned being the first resident priest in 1845. |
 | | He is described as 'perhaps the most dynamic of all Bollington's parish priests'. |
