Anderton Chapel
The Ince Andertons were responsible for the building of the first Catholic chapel in Ince in 1760. It was built just before the law allowing the construction of catholic chapels was passed that same year and was a rather austere, house-like building as the law still did not permit outward signs of a religious nature on the catholic chapels.
This chapel was in fact the first place of worship to be built of any denomination in the township of Ince. The chapel was closed, however, in 1818 when the Anderton family fixed their residence again at Euxton Hall. The catholic polulation of Ince then had to go to the churches of Wigan, ????until 1873 when a school was used for Catholic Mass.????
