The Church Inn, on Bonds Lane at Garstang was originally called the Rose and Crown. It was given its present name in 1858 in recognition of the building of the new Catholic Church nearby (Image] ). It had been a pair of houses until around the 1790s, when it began to be used as an ale house - probably to serve the Irish navvies (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navvy ) who worked on the building of the Lancaster Canal.
