The property was originally built circa 1897 and offers 2225 SQ.FT of living space arranged over two floors with an additional detached two story brick barn/annex. Full planning permission has granted and preliminary works undertaken to build a double storey extension to side and rear with a garage which will adjoin the barn and house together and create a wonderful 5 bedroom house with 4 bathrooms and a magnificent open plan living kitchen.

  • HERITAGE TRAIL No. 4 to Celebrate Lancashire Day, 2015 Shevington & District Community Association HERITAGE TRAIL NO
    Shevington & District Community Association HERITAGE TRAIL No. 4 To Celebrate Lancashire Day, 2015 Shevington & District Community Association HERITAGE TRAIL NO. 4 Welcome to Shevington & District Heritage Trail No. 4 which covers aspects of our local heritage to be found on both sides of Miles Lane from its junction with Broad o’th’ Lane, across the M6 Motorway and up to its Back Lane junction in Shevington Vale. As I have stated in previous trails, I trust this one will also help to stimulate interest in the heritage of our local community and encourage residents to explore it in more detail John O’Neill Introduction Much of the manor of Shevington from earliest recorded times remained a sparsely populated area whose ownership was largely in the shared possession of prominent landed families. As late as Tudor times there were as few as 21 families across the entire area, only 69 by the reign of George III and less than 1,000 inhabitants by the time of Queen Victoria’s accession in 1837. It was still under 2,000 at the 1931 census. The most significant rise occurred between 1951 when it reached 3,057 and up to 8,001 by 1971. At the last Census in 2011 the population had risen to 10,247. Even today, just beyond the current building-line, it can clearly be observed from the M6 motorway, Shevington’s rural landscape of open countryside, woods, streams and ponds remains to a large extent as it was, prior to the short-term local effects of industrial activity from the mid-18th century to the 1950s/60s together with local farming, although the latter is less evident today with the diminution of grazing flocks and herds, than it once was only fifty years ago.

  • Notes on the Parish Church of St. Wilfred, Standish Introduction
    NOTES ON THE PARISH CHURCH OF ST. WILFRED, STANDISH By William Frederick Price Read I7th November 1904 INTRODUCTION,. RAPT in the mist of unwritten history there W is some tradition that long before the coming of the Normans, Standish was a fortified station or camp of some importance. Lying, as it does, on an elevated plateau 370 feet above sea- level, on the direct route of the Roman road between Wigan and Walton-le-Dale, there may be some truth in the tradition. The fact that the Romans were acquainted with the use of coal is now fully established, and so great an authority on mining as Professor Hull considers there is good evidence that they discovered and worked the Arley seam which crops out along the banks of the river Douglas between Standish and Wigan. Years ago, while driving a tunnel to divert the course of the river, this coal seam of 6 feet in thickness was found to have been mined in a manner hitherto altogether unknown. "It was excavated into a series of polygonal chambers, with vertical walls opening into each other by short passages, and, on the whole, presenting on a ground plan something of the appearance of a honeycomb. The chambers were regular in size and form, and were altogetherdifferent from anything within the ex­ perience of the miners of the district; there is some- 1905 SIDE, SOUTH CHURCH, STANDISH 238. p. face To Parish Church of 'St. Wilfred, Standish 239 thing in the symmetrical arrangement and regu­ larity of the works peculiarly Roman, reminding one of their tesselated pavements."- The .Coalfields of Great Britain,^.
