Bonds is a village in Lancashire, England. It lies immediately south of Garstang town centre, on the opposite bank of the River Wyre. It is bounded by the Lancaster Canal to the south and west. It would appear, from its location, to be a suburb of Garstang, but, in fact, it lies in the separate parish of Barnacre-with-Bonds. Garstang, Bonds, Bowgreave and Catterall form an almost continuous built-up area, bypassed by the A6 road in 1926.[1]
The Catholic church of St Mary and St Michael is a Gothic building opened in 1858, superseding a chapel built in 1784.[2][3]
Half a mile east of the village are the ruins of Greenhalgh Castle, built in 1490 by Thomas Stanley.[4]
