History:

The Church of St Oswald was consecrated for the worship of God on 22 October 1908 as part of the worldwide Christian Church and as a companion to both St John the Baptist Church (consecrated in June 1834) and Holy Trinity Mission Church in Kerridge (dedicated in January 1898). 

St Oswald's is now designated as Bollington Parish Church, following the closure and sale of St John's in 2003. Since September 2009, we are now joined together as one Church of England congregation here in Bollington, following the closure and sale of Holy Trinity Mission Church in Kerridge. 

Wherever we gather for worship, our aim has always been to serve the people of Bollington within the Church of England Diocese of Chester and the Deanery of Macclesfield, alongside our Christian brothers and sisters of other denominations in our local community.
