Bolton [le Sands] [variant spelling] has an entry in the Domesday survey together with over a dozen other places [https://opendomesday.org/place/SD4867/bolton-le-sands/] [accessed 3 April 2019]the entry mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (Lancaster, vol., 8, 1914) notes: "The church existed in 1094 [...] The nave arcade and the west tower are practically all of the old church now left, and are of late 15thcentury date [...] The registers begin in 1653. [...] The floor of the baptistery is 15 in. below that of the nave, and the font is modern." [NB: we have no information on any medieval font here].
