The Parish Church of Dunholme is dedicated to St Chad.

St Chads

 

  • The parish church is dedicated to Saint Chad, and is a Grade I listed building, built in Early English style. It contains a kneeling effigy to Robert Grantham (died 1616), and was restored in 1856 and 1892.[2]
  • The Parish Church of Dunholme "St Chad's" Built in the 12th Century although it is believed that there was some sort of church on the site before then. Dunholme Parish Church is one of thirty one churches dedicated to St Chad.
  • The fact that the Domesday Book (1087) makes no mention of a church in Dunholme does not necessarily mean that no church existed at that date. It is imposible to say exactly when the first church was built.
  • That there was a church here about thirty six years after the Domesday Survey is borne out by the fact that between 1123 and 1148, Alexander, Bishop of Lincoln endoewed the Prebend of Dunham and Newport. The Prebendal income was derived from churshes of Dunholme and St John's in Newport. The various architectural styles of the church can be dated approximately.
  • The Church has an early English arcade, tower and a chancel (Circa 1200 -1300) and  a late decorated aisle (Circa 1300 -1375). The perpendicular cast windows in the chancel date from circa 1375 - 1500)
