The Church of St Wilfrid is in Market Place, Standish, Wigan, Greater Manchester, England.

[2] The church is first mentioned in 1205 but the vast extent of the ancient parish with its eleven townships (Adlington, Anderton, Charnock Richard, Coppull, Duxbury, Heath Charnock, Langtree, Shevington, Standish, Welch Whittle and Worthington) points to a very early foundation.

The Pilkington family of Lancashire have a long-standing connection to the church and mention is made in 1322 when Robert, heir of the Pilkington estates and his brother Adam in dispute with John De Dichfield and his brothers was agreed to be settled by the decision of Henry Le Walys, the Chaplain of Standish.

He released the estates to the beneficiary being Roger Pilkington, who was Alexanders grandson on him attaining the age of majority.

An earlier record of 1574 recovering rents for the same properties to the benefit of the school suggests freehold and leasehold.

In 1913–14 they added vestries at the east end of the church,[11] and in 1926 they built a gatehouse at the entrance to the churchyard.

This is a Tudor work of panels and cross-braces covering nave, aisles and, most elaborate, the chancel.
