When visiting Wigan Parish Church, take a moment to explore the war memorial located in the triangular garden to the south of the church. Designed by renowned architect Giles Gilbert Scott in 1925, this Grade II* listed monument is crafted from Portland stone and features bronze plaques commemorating those who fell in both world wars. It's a poignant tribute that adds depth to your visit, reflecting the community's history and sacrifice.
