Heritage Open Day: Church will be open for visits. People will be available to explain its history. It will be possible to access the Peace Gate and the Bell Ringing Chamber. There will be a Churchyard Tour. Refreshments available St Wilfrid's Church Standish was built in 1584 and is the only Grade I listed building in the Metropolitan Borough of Wigan. The blending of late Gothic and Renaissance styles of architecture along with the light and lofty clerestory give the church a special beauty and charm. The roof consists of a beautiful oak timbered ceiling, with moulded pricipals dividing the ceiling into bays with moulded diagonal ribs. The nave and chancel arcades have pointed arches on Tuscan columns with plinths; believed to be the earliest use of this order in the country.
