Church of St George, Bolton
The Church of St George is a redundant church on Bath Street in Bolton, Greater Manchester, England. It was completed in 1796, with a shallow chancel and south chapel added or rebuilt 1907 by James Simpson. The church was designated a Grade II* listed building on 26 April 1974. It closed in 1975 and was used as a crafts centre until 2007.
In 1806 a set of change-ringing bells was cast by John Rudhall for the church to celebrate Nelson's victory at Trafalgar. In 1976 the bells were removed from the closed church and were destined for a local scrapyard, but were acquired by the Anglican Diocese of Wangaratta. They were shipped to Victoria in 1977 and were first rung in their new home in 1987, after a tower had been built to house them. They are now the oldest "complete" ring of bells in Australia.
In 2010 The Bolton News reported that the Manchester Diocese intended to lease the church to the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), subject to approval by the Church Commissioners' Closed Churches Division.
