Where to stay in Eagley
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Bolton holds the rooms. Eagley is a village on the moor slope rather than a lodging centre, and a stay here means a private let within walking distance of Christ Church, Walmsley or the lane past Dunscar House. The Metropolitan Borough of Bolton puts the town's hotels a short drive down from South Turton, which suits anyone climbing into the West Pennine Moors in the morning.
Sharples Hall stands on the way.

About Eagley
What are the main landmarks in Eagley?
Four entries, two of them churches. Christ Church, Walmsley and St Andrew's Church are the places of worship the record ties to Eagley, and Dunscar House and Sharples Hall are the two houses that stand beside them on the same list. Both houses carry names of their own.
A village this size rarely holds four listed structures, and the West Pennine Moors rising behind them supply the setting the buildings do not.
What is the history of Eagley?
Lancashire came first. Eagley was part of that county before the Metropolitan Borough of Bolton took shape, and it falls inside the unparished area of South Turton, a unit with no parish council of its own. Two churches mark the older ground.
Christ Church, Walmsley and St Andrew's Church, with Sharples Hall and Dunscar House beside them, are the fixed points the record leaves under a name that carries no founding year.
