All Saints' Church, Wigan

[5][6] In 1861 E. G. Paley, now working alone, added another stage to the tower including clock faces and pinnacles.

Between the nave and the chancel are the octagonal turrets remaining from the medieval church; these have crocketed caps.

The font has an octagonal bowl with a quatrefoil frieze and incorporates a fragment from the 14th or 15th century.

The stained glass includes fragments in the north window dating from the 15th century, that were reassembled in 1956–57 under the direction of Eric Milner-White.

Elsewhere are 19th-century windows by William Wailes, Heaton, Butler and Bayne, Hardman & Co., Lavers and Barraud, Clayton and Bell, and Burlison and Grylls.

These are considered to be effigies of Sir William de Bradshaigh, who founded a chantry in the church in 1338, and his wife, Mabel.

In 1714 another organ was built in the same place, with a passage of twelve feet beneath it obstructing the view of the chancel.

This instrument was started by Richard Jackson of Liverpool, and finished by William Hill and Son of London.

In 1901, when Sir Edward Bairstow was organist, the instrument was rebuilt by Norman & Beard of Norwich.

The organists, some of whom were notable, include: To the south of the church in a triangular garden is a war memorial of 1925 designed by Giles Gilbert Scott, which is listed at Grade II*.

It is in Portland stone with bronze plaques recording the names of those who fell in both world wars.
