Sculptured Stone in Lancashire
St Peter and St Paul's Church is in Bolton-by-Bowland. The village is steeped in history with many listed buildings including the church itself, which is also full of historic artefacts and plaques
However in the porch there two sculpted stones incorporated within the walls which seem to go much further back in time.
In the graveyard there are also a number of sculpted stones including one which appears to be the socket base for a cross.
The village green has a cross and stocks.
On the outskirts of the village before crossing Skirden Bridge on the right hidden below some bushes is what appears to be an old well?
I have a number of photos for posting.
