- 8 - Parish Chest |
|---|
Kept originally in the vestry and constructed to house the parish
records, the parish chest is a splendid piece, probably made in
the 16th century. It has five locks (one for the vicar and one
for each of the churchwardens). The ancient records themselves
were deposited at the Lancashire Record Office in 1992. In
Prescot Museum is a companion chest, of similar period, made to
house the manorial records.
