St Peter's Church, Bolton, Gothic Revival church in Bolton, England.

The church features a 180-foot tower, encaustic tiled floors by Minton, and original nave seating with canopied civic stalls and choir stalls.

The current structure, completed in 1871, represents the fourth church on this site, with archaeological evidence revealing pre-Norman stones and Anglo-Saxon foundations.

The parish conducts regular services, maintains an active music program, and operates extensive community support initiatives, including holiday meal assistance for local families.

The building contains a restored organ from 1882 with nearly 3,000 pipes, offering both traditional and contemporary musical accompaniment for services.

Local cotton spinner Peter Ormrod funded the construction with £47,000, resulting in the tallest church tower within historic Lancashire.
