St Oswald Church Gets Top Historic Status | Manchester News
Description
A historic church in Wigan just got a major upgrade—its stained glass windows, crafted by legendary artist Harry Clarke, have earned it a rare Grade II listing. This prestigious status, awarded by Historic England, recognizes the church’s exceptional architectural and cultural value, placing it among less than 6% of England’s buildings. Opened in 1930 and designed by J. Sydney Brocklesby, St Oswald and St Edmund now stands as a cherished symbol of faith and resilience, with its current priest, Canon John Gorman, proud to lead its preservation for future generations.
