taken 9 years ago, near to Wigan, England

St Christopher Window
St Christopher Window

This window, considered to be the most beautiful in the church, is by Morris and Fawkes from a design by Sir Edward Burne Jones. It was placed here in 1868 in memory of Edward Scott of Beech Hill by his widow. The centre light represents the story of St Christopher and sides have figures of the four archangels.
All Saints Parish Church, Wigan

All Saints Church was established in Saxon times and was probably built on the site of a temple in the Roman settlement of Coccium. The present structure is at least the third building on the site. Major rebuilding took place in 1620 and 1849 and further restorations were made from 1898-1902, from 1947-1957 and from 2002-2006.
