A beautiful Cheshire church built of local Triassic sandstone. Bunbury Church dates from Saxon times and is one of a few Anglican churches dedicated to St. Boniface (680-754 A.D.), A wooden Anglo-Saxon church existed on site AD 755 and Bunbury was mentioned in the Domesday Book in 1086. A Stone Norman church existed in 1135 which in 1320 was rebuilt in Decorated style. In 1385-6 Sir Hugh de Calveley endowed a new collegiate church and in 1490 the nave was remodelled. The Ridley Chapel was begun by Sir Raufe Egerton in 1527.
