Queen's Hall Methodist Mission
Wigan, Lancashire
An active and busy church open six days a week, it is a meeting place for everyone, whether Christian or not.
The church stands on the crest of a hill in the centre of Wigan.
Most of the present structure was erected between 1845 and 1850, when the church was almost entirely rebuilt.
It was a copy of the church which was taken down then, which seems to have dated in the main from the later Middle Ages, though parts of the tower and perhaps other fragments were earlier. Since the rebuilding three restorations have been necessary in 1898 and 1947 and more recently 2006.
Also recently restored are two 15th century panels which originally formed the wing panels of a reredos.
