| === Parish History ===

| CONGLETON, is an incorporated market-town, a '''chapelry''', and the head of a union, in the '''parish of Astbury''', it is locally in the hundred of Northwich, S. division of the county of Chester. The chapel is dedicated to St. Peter. At Congleton Moss, a church was dedicated to the Holy Trinity it was erected in 1845. Two districts or ecclesiastical parishes have been formed under Sir Robert Peel's act: in the one, St. Stephen's district, a chapel has been purchased from the dissenters, in the other, '''St. James'''', a church. There are places of worship for '''Independents, Primitive Methodists, Wesleyans, Unitarians, and Roman Catholics'''.<ref>Lewis, Samuel A., ''[http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=50893#s23 A Topographical Dictionary of England]'' (1848).

| | |
| Congleton St James was formed in 1847 from [[Congleton St Peter,Cheshire]] and the earlier Ancient parish of [[Astbury, Cheshire]].
| |
| | |
| In 1847 the district of Astbury contained a population of three thousand four hundred. Under an act known as ‘Sir Robert Peel’s Church Extension Act’, which was designed to make better provision for the spiritual care of populous parishes, the church of St. James was born.
| |
| | |
| The Church consists of Nave, Side Aisles and Chancel with a porch at the northern end and a bell-cot surmounting the western end of the Nave roof.
| |
| | |
| Other closely associated chapelries also lying within Astbury ancient parish included the chapelries of Congleton St Peter and St Stephen's, Mossley Holy Trinity, Buglawton, Rode, Smallwood, and Somerford; together with several places of worship for dissenters in the parish.<ref>Lewis, Samuel A., [http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=50767 A Topographical Dictionary of England] (1848), pp. 100-104.
