About Burnden
Where to stay in Burnden
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Bolton town centre is a mile off. Burnden lies south-east of it, a district whose one recorded building is the Church of St Michael With St Bartholomew, and ground of that size does not carry hotels of its own. The rooms are in Bolton.
Burnden works for you when an address in the district is the reason for the trip, since the walk back into the middle of Bolton is short enough to make twice in a day.
About Burnden
What are the main landmarks in Burnden?
One church, and that is all. The Church of St Michael With St Bartholomew is the only building the record fixes to Burnden, a double dedication naming both St Michael and St Bartholomew, and anything else a visitor comes for sits inside Bolton itself. The town centre is a mile away.
What is the history of Burnden?
The chronology here is thin: no founding year, no charter, and one church to speak for ground lying a mile south-east of Bolton town centre. The Church of St Michael With St Bartholomew keeps the older thread. Bolton carries the rest.
What the record says about Burnden is brief, and it says it in the language of parish dedication rather than of dates, which puts St Michael and St Bartholomew at the head of the account.
Where is Burnden?
Burnden lies about a mile south-east of Bolton town centre, within the town itself, in Greater Manchester, England.
