In The Heart Of Standish - St Wilfrid's

In The Heart Of Standish – St Wilfrid’s is a feature-length documentary about the history and architecture of St Wilfrid’s CE Church, a Grade I-listed building in Standish, Wigan, England. The film has been produced to celebrate the church and to raise money for its upkeep – so please would you give a donation (£10 is suggested) to the Save Standish Spire appeal through its Just Giving fundraising page here: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/sa... The building dates back almost 500 years and a place of worship has been on the site for hundreds of years before that. The church is bound up with the history of the village of Standish and the Standish family, an ancient line of landed gentry first recorded in the 1200s. This documentary – commissioned and funded by Standish Voice neighbourhood forum and directed by Majed Sena – details the rich history of the building and its intriguing contents through a tour by St Wilfrid’s guide Joe Bazeley, who has had a life-long association with the church. You will hear how the original parish church was 50 years ahead of its time when it was built in 1584; how battles and monarchs shaped those commemorated within it; how the aristocratic Standish family and possibly American Pilgrim Father Myles Standish worshipped there – all with fascinating details of village life from medieval times to the present day. We hope you enjoy this film of our church – and please donate to ensure this beautiful building is preserved for future generations. Thank you.
