Lancashire was comprised of&nbsp;at least 75 ancient parishes, but well over 400&nbsp;extant chapels&nbsp;(chapelries) and district churches&nbsp;prior to 1851. As&nbsp;all authoritative treatises on Lancashire civil parishes differ somewhat--some much more than others--in their facts which indicate&nbsp;the&nbsp;extant&nbsp;township chapelries, several key reference publications have been used here to compile as thorough and comprehensive a list of Lancashire parishes and all associated chapelries as may be possible.

To help you determine whether a Lancashire place is an ancient parish or a chapelry, or, in which ancient parish a chapelry is in, or which chapelries are found within the boundary of an ancient parish, use two or more&nbsp;of the&nbsp;excellent&nbsp;topographical guides listed in the next section ("Source Citations").
