The Story of Cottam

A collection of videos by local filmmaker Gary Cunliffe have been produced which cover the history of Cottam & Cottam Hall, The Haydock Family and our own church of St Andrew & Blessed George Haydock.

Parishioner Bill Shannon’s book ‘Your Sorrow Shall be Turned into Joy’ is quoted as a reference source. (You can still download a free copy of Bill’s Book here).
