CLAUGHTON, a tiny village and '''civil parish''' in the county of Lancashire, located within the Borough of Wyre. It is in the parish and union of Garstang, hundred of Amounderness, N. division of the county of Lancaster, 2 miles (S. S. E.) from Garstang. The village has both a '''Catholic church''' (St Thomas Apostle) and a Catholic primary school (St Mary's), but ''no Church of England presence'', which might be considered unusual for a parish in England, were it not for the strong Catholic tradition of the area and the presence of an early church building. Other places in the parish of Garstang include: Bilsborough, Billisborrow, Cabus, Catteral, Catterall, Claughton, Cleveley, Forton, Holleth, Kirkland, Nateby, Nether Wyresdale, Winmarleigh, Barnacre with Bonds, Barnacre with Ronds, and Bilsborrow. <ref>Lewis, Samuel A., [http://british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=50880#s12 ''A Topographical Dictionary of England]'' (1848), pp. 620-623.
