St Chads Church, Poulton Le Fylde

Description

• St Chads Church watercolour jigsaw art is a ‘one off’ by Tony as it is a view taken from Tonys home village, outside the New Penny Grill, Poulton Le Fylde, where Tony was a regular customer. The other titles produced to date are of beautiful Lake District scenes.
• The finished size is approximately 68cm x 48.5cm
• Quality and UK product is high on our agenda therefore our jigsaws are produced in the UK by Seddons, whom we believe manufacture for Gibsons.
• Poulton was recorded in 1086 as Poltun, from the Old English words pull or pōl + tūn meaning “farmstead by a pool or creek”.It’s near to Skippool and Wardleys creeks, and both were busy trading ports at the time. St Chad’s Church was recorded in 1094 when it was endowed to Lancaster Priory.
• The history of Poulton-le-Fylde is a lot more interesting than you might think. It’s a popular, small market town today, somewhat overshadowed by it’s bigger neighbours along the Fylde Coast. But hundreds of years ago it was the busiest place on the Fylde, long before Blackpool became so popular.
