Chowbent is the original name of what is now called Atherton, Lancashire (postal address Atherton Manchester) It is situated 3 miles north of Leigh and is in the Metropolitan Borough of Wigan, and was formerly an Urban District in its own right. It is one of the last townships looking out from above the Lancashire Plain almost to North Wales. If anyone has any history of the Battle of Chowbent I would be glad to read it.
