The Anglican church, more usually called Boulton St. Mary's, Boulton St Mary's Website was built about the year 1150 by the Sacheverell family who were owners of the Manor of Boulton at that time.Notes on the Churches of Derbyshire Volume IV by Dr. J. Charles Cox, published 1882 Following a long period of dispute the church became a chapel of ease in 1281 to St. Peter's in Derby, this being brought about by the ambitions of the all-powerful abbot of Darley Abbey. The church is now within the Diocese of Derby. The lychgate which forms the main entrance to the churchyard on Boulton Lane is a war memorial to those of the parish who gave their lives in the Great War of 1914 to 1919. The church has been altered and extended during its long history but still retains some of the original Norman fabric. Boulton Church History Site
