St Michaels cottage was Fulwood’s first Catholic chapel. Around 1858 the privately owned chapel was opened to serve the Catholics of the township. Two brothers, Revs. John and Thomas Smith, in 1857 purchased Broughton Cottage on Black Bull Lane near the junction with Garstang Road. The house was divided into two parts, numbers 6 and 7, and relatives made their home in one half. Double doors separated the extension from the drawing room, and it was made into the sanctuary which could be closed off when not in use. The walls were paneled with pinewood and, an altar built, set on marble pillars from Durham Cathedral. Above, a beautiful stained glass rose window was installed. The chapel was dedicated to St Michael and the Presbytery/family house next door, to St Mary. Stone statues of the two saints were placed on the outside wall above the front windows and a cross on the roof. Present to this date. The chapel, now the living room, could hold a congregation of up to 100 people.
In summary this simply breath-taking property holds immense potential throughout boasting endless opportunities and character. Viewing is essential to appreciate the accommodation on offer.
