The foundation stone of Holy Trinity Parish Church was laid on 31st July 1837, the church was completed and consecrated on 13th June 1838. On 21 January 1846 it became a church of ease to St. Pauls Church at Warton, and the first resident curate Rev_ C. H. Waterfall was appointed, he remained only one year and was succeeded by the Rev. Walter Scott, who became the first Vicar of Freckleton when Holy Trinity became the Parish Church. Stained glass windows in the church portray parishioners who had taken an active role in church matters. The exterior of the present church is essentially the same building as that begun in 1837. apart from the necessary removal in 1976 of the original tower and replacement with an 18ft hexagonal bell-cote and gilded cross in 1980. The interior has been considerably altered with the removal of the original wooden box pews and replaced with modern chairs The Jacobean pulpit is the church's most prized possession. It was originally made in 1633 by Robert Weaver at a cost of £10, for Kirkham church. In 1932 the churchyard was enlarged for the first time since 1896, then again in 2000. The communal grave of the victims of the 1944 air disaster is sadly the most prominent monument of all. On 21 November 2003 The Revered James Edward Charles Percival was ordained as Priest in Charge Methodist Chapel The current minister is: Rev. Judith Baldry Alvanley, 123 Kirkham Road Freckleton PR4 1HS Tel: 01772 635858 In 6 years time Freckleton Methodist Church will celebrate 200 years of Methodism in the village. Since its earliest beginnings and before the church was built, services have been held on a regular basis and hundreds of people have found a welcome. It is a church of a rich heritage for worship and praise, expressed in words and music, and much has been achieved, but much remains to be achieved. The foundation stones were laid on the 30th August 1884. Until 1960's there were 2 Methodist Churches in Freckleton. One Primitive and One Wesleyan. In 1966 they became one, and though it was a difficult decision the Primitive church was closed in favour of the larger Wesleyan. Meanwhile the church is not only used for worship but also for an active pre school group, choral group and dancing classes, weekly CAB Clinic and various other groups. This is one of the many ways they reach out into the community Sunday services: 10:30am and 06:30pm The Holy Family Catholic Church The current Priest is: Father John Gibson 1 Lvtham Road Warton PR4 1AD Tel: 01772 633 256 In 1899 the first Catholic church was built on the Warton side of Lamaleach Brook, to serve the residents of Freckleton and Warton. (The mother church being St. John, the Willows, at Kirkham) A separate parish was created in 1907. And in 1913 the building, housed not only the church but a school for all ages which was held in the ‘back half of the building’. This was closed in 1953 when children went to outlying schools until the present school in Warton was opened in 1974. In 1978 the interior of the church was fully refurbished. A wooden hall was built in the grounds to accommodate playgroups and other activities. This has been replaced with a brick building, currently under construction (March 2004).

The Rose Queen, who represents our parish church, is chosen from the group. Each year we have a Christmas presentation and all the children are invited to be involved. We are one of the largest Sunday Schools on the Fylde, if not the largest. School Time: Sunday 10.30am - 11.30am The Sunday School welcomes all children. The Sunday school mission statement is as follows: 1. We nurture the growth of the Christian faith, in the children through teaching from the scripture. 2. We introduce the children into the traditions of the church. 3. We look after the well being of all those entrusted into our care.

This is the next stage following on from the Brownies although it is not necessary to have been in the Brownies to become a Guide. The meetings are fun, they learn new skills, make new friends and help each other. They work in groups known as Patrols and are actively encouraged to plan their own activities to give them more independence and to share in decisions that affect themselves and others in their group. The Guide leader does offer support and guidance concerning this but the onus is on the girls making the decision themselves. There are a wide variety of badges to work towards which they can do so at their own pace, giving them a great sense of achievement and purpose. Trips and events are planned through out the year, some even as far afield as London! Occassionally the Guides attend special Church services at the Holy Trinity Church in Freckleton but this in no way affects the membership of Guides from other religious denominations. The Guide Motto is "Be Prepared" and this is most useful in all aspects of a guides life.

s1[23]=new Array("../history/asitwas.html","The history of Freckleton","Freckleton history and references","The History of Freckleton Freckleton village is situated on the south Fyld near the junction of the Dow and Douglas rivers north of the Ribble. It existed in Roman times and the lake or pool here was used as a port to supply the fort at Kirkham a few miles north.What little remains of the Freckleton quay can be seen at low tide between the boat yard and Naze point at the end of the headland. The village is mentioned in The Doomsday Book, although the name is apparently spelt FRECKULTON (or FRECHELTON depending on which reference work you read). Various other names have been recorded through the years such as FREQUELTON, FREKELTON and FREKILTON before becoming known by its current name. Freckleton water mill, built in the 14th century, provided milled corn for the local agricultural community. It was demolished in the 1960’s and replaced by the ‘modern’ flat roofed square building that stands on the site today. In the 1800’s Freckleton became an industrial village serving the ship building industry. Factories were established to make sail cloth and ropes. Most have now been demolished but some remains still exist, mostly in road names. At one time there were seven public houses in the village. The Ship Inn, The Coach and Horses and The Plough Hotel are still serving food and drink today. The Mariners' Arms, Lamaleach Arms, the Bush Inn and the Cyclists' Arms are no longer in business. Prior to 1920 when the current Preston road was built, Freckleton controlled the access to Lytham and St Annes via the toll road running across the marsh. The toll house still exists and can be seen on the left when approaching Freckleton from Preston. The raised ground that marks the route of the toll road can still be made out running across the marsh at the bottom end of Lower Lane. During WW2 the Americans were based at Warton Aerodrome. The disaster that occurred when an aircraft crashed into the village school is still discussed today. The Freckleton Memorial Playing Fields, dedicated to the memory of those who died on the 23th August 1944, were reopened in April 1986.

As stated in our mission plan we would like to make freckleton.org self supporting. These services are not yet available, but we would like to gauge the demand for them. If you are interested in any of the services then please tell us! Please note that these services are intended for local people. Items we consider inappropiate will not be accepted. We are still refining the details of these services, how they will work, the cost and how payments can be made. If there are any other services that you would like then please let us know. Classifieds Would you like to advertise items for sale or wanted on freckleton.org? How does it work? You provide the text, and picture if appropiate, for the sale or wanted item. We add the item to the relevent classified page. What does it cost? Charging is on a 'per day' basis, 5p for a picture and 0.5p per word. A 'typical' advert will therefore cost approximately 20p per day or £1.40 per week. How do I apply? Send an email to me at expressing your interest in this service. What happens next? If enough people express an interest then a new classifieds page and menu entry will be created on the site. Email addresses Are you happy with your current email address? Instead of being 'somebody@someplace-with-a-long-name.com' how about 'your-name@freckleton.org'? We can now offer email addresses at freckleton.org. How does it work? You continue to use your own ISP to send and receive your email. You simply tell everyone that your email address is 'your-name@freckleton.org'. We set-up an email redirector that transfers your email from freckleton.org to your current email address. If you change your ISP then we change the redirector and your email address stays the same 'your-name@freckleton.org'. What does it cost? £5.00 per annum. How do I apply? Send an email to me at stating the email name that you would like to register. What happens next? Once we have enough applications I will set-up your email address and send you an email confirmation (and a bill). Freckleton Business Pages All businesses in Freckleton have a free entry on the relevant page, but is that enough? Do you want more detail, more information? Would you like several pages dedicated to your business? How does it work? You supply the information and we put it together into a web page, or pages. A link is provided from your business entry to the new page. We can also help if pictures of your business or products, are required. What does it cost? The basic price is £50 per page, but the more work we have to do the more it costs. This is a one-off fee to create the page and place it on the site. Any subsequent updates are costed seperately and the charge will be dependent on the extent of the change. There is an annual maintenance cost of £10. How do I apply? Send an email to me at detailing your requirements. Freckleton Sub-Domains This is our top-level service. Your sub-domain is 'www.your-business.freckleton.org'. The sub-domain provides full ASP, MySQL database and PHP scripting. What does it cost?

We would like to have a positive impact on the local community! One of the reasons why I wanted to create this site is due to the difficulties we experienced when we first arrived in the village. Our house needed decorating, fixing and changing to meet with our tastes. Local trades people do exist, but they are not easy to find. It took me a long time to find things out. mostly by word of mouth and I thought it would be a good idea to save others the same trouble. Even now I am still learning of businesses and trades people I didn't know existed before I started collecting the information to create the site. Freckleton is a lovely place to live and we hope to be here for a long time. Please help me to help you by supporting the Freckleton web site.You can e-mail at Thank you for your time and support.

Browsers The best way to overcome browser problems is to download the latest version of the browser software, or at least obtain a "v5" browser. There is really no need to continue with older, clunky browsers. IE & NS The two most popular browsers that are compatible with Windows and Macintosh computers are Netscape and Internet Explorer - click the logo to reach the respective site. For any other browser, try free download sites like CNET or Tucows. Alternatively, if you would prefer not to download such large files, you should be able to obtain a copy from the cover CD of a computer magazine. Opera The Opera browser is fully compatible with the menu system used in freckleton.org. Earlier versions may give problems, but you should consider upgrading in any case to the latest version. Firefox & Mozilla Award winning next generation browsers from Mozilla. Powerful yet easy to use. Perfect for those who live on the cutting edge! Appearance Sometimes there can be a marked difference between the appearance of Web pages in various browsers. Freckleton.org is regularly checked using Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, Opera and Mozilla.

s1[32]=new Array("../about/website.html","freckleton.org - Mission statement","The Freckleton Community web site mission statement the purpose and advantages cost and benefits","Freckleton web site mission statement What is it for? The Freckleton web site is a showcase for the village. It will inform people of the businesses, facilities, services and amenities that are available locally. Who is it for? The site is for the people and businesses of the village and those who would like to live, work or visit here. What are the benefits for my business? There are a large number of businesses in Freckleton. Some are more obvious and easily found than others. Most local people know that the village has a number of shops and a couple of pubs. A surprising number are unaware of what the shops sell, how competitive they can be or the benefits of buying locally. Most do not know of the myriad of other businesses and services that available locally. It is my hope that the Freckleton web site will become the place that people go when they require any information about Freckleton and the local area. Advertising normally costs money and does not always reach your target audience. The Freckleton web site is free and is targeted at the people that you need to reach. What else is there? The History pages will provide a guide to the history and development of the village from ancient times to the present day. The Out and About pages will show local places of interest, things to do and places to go.The Interchange is an area of the site where local people can exchange their views, make recommendations and comment on things that effect their lives. What does it cost? The Freckleton web site is a community project for the benefit of all. It currently costs nothing. In the longer term it is hoped that the site will be self-supporting by making a small charge for business entries and adverts. It will however remain none profit making for the foreseeable future. What do I do now? All I need from you is a short description of your business and/or the services that you can provide. If you have any pictures or logo’s that you would like to include then these will be welcome, although I do reserve the right to decide what will be included on the site. If you have any aspirations for the future, or ideas to assist with the site, then these are also welcomed. If you own or run a business in Freckleton or know of one that is not listed then please tell me.
