No individual entry found for Chorlton in the Domesday survey. The Victoria County History (Lancaster, vol. 4, 1911) notes: "The old chapel of Chorlton is believed to have been built about the beginning of the reign of Henry VIII [i.e., 1509- ] [...] it was taken down in 1779 and another erected, called St. Clement's. [...] A second church of St. Clement was consecrated in 1896, technically as a chapel of ease to the old one, which is still used." [NB: we have no information on the font of the original church here].
