Clifton-with-Salwick. As early as 1100 William de Clifton
had lands in Clifton and Salwick, and from that date to the
present time, with one short interval, the manors have descended
in the same family, of which Jno. Talbot Clifton, esq., of Lytham,
is the head.[1] Clifton and Salwick Halls, the ancient residences of
the Cliftons, are now comparatively modern buildings. The
church of Lund is situated in Salwick, and possessed a chantry so
far back as 1516. The first notice of any connection between
Kirkham church and Lund chapel occurs amongst the records of
the "Thirty-men" in 1701, thus:—"Matt. Hall, ch warden, of
Kirkham, in 1688, set up a scandalous trough for a font in Lund
chapel; and 4 sackfuls of moss he then carried from the church
to repair the said chapel, and so it first began to be repaired at
the parish charge." The old chapel was pulled down in 1824,
and a stone church erected. In 1852 a chancel was added, and
more recently a tower. Lund and Newton-with-Scales were
constituted an ecclesiastical parish in 1840. The church is
dedicated to St. John, and the dean and chapter of Christ
Church, Oxford, are the patrons.
