Lancashire is one of England's most populated counties. Lancashire possessed 75 ancient parishes, far fewer than most England counties. To handle a population explosion, the Church of England divided most of the Lancashire parishes into chapelries. The end result was 400 chapelries within the 75 parishes of Lancashire.
