Policies, plans and procedures and how to use them 2. Collections management 3. Environmental data analysis and control 4.

  • Founded on Coal
    FOUNDED ON COAL A HISTORY OF A COAL MINING COMMUNITY: THE PARISH OF ST. MATTHEW HIGHFIELD AND WINSTANLEY by RAY WINSTANLEY and DEREK WINSTANLEY with a foreword bv Rev. W. Bynon Copyright R. & D. Winstanley, 1981 Published by R. Winstanley, 22 Beech Walk, Winstanley. Printed by the Supplies Section of the Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council (Administration Department) FOREWORD When walking or driving along Pemberton Road and Billinge Road, you are aware of the new housing estates and the rush of traffic. It is not difficult to imagine that the Parish of Highfield is one of the new suburbs created to absorb the workers of Lancashire and Merseyside. The truth is very different as you will discover in the pages of this book. The history of this area can be traced back to the Domesday Book of 1086 A. D. and by far the most historic building is Winstanley Hall. As a legal parish we can only go back to 1910, but as a church we go back to 1867 when the Pemberton Colliery Church School was built. The name of Pemberton Colliery gives us a clue to the origin of a church on this site. The link between the Blundell family and the Church has given to this parish the schools, the cricket Field, the graveyard and the vicarage. The present church, completed in 1894, was the gift of Col. Blundell in memory of his wife, Lady Blundell. The Blundell family were generous benefactors to the parish. Although the physical area referred to in this book is that of the parish of St Matthew, this is the history not just of a church, but of a whole community.
