The bells of All Saints' Church in Wigan

All Saints' Church in Wallgate, Wigan, stands on a hill in the centre of the town. This Grade II* listed building is constructed in sandstone and follows a Perpendicular style, mirroring the architecture of the church it replaced. The oldest fabric in the church is found in the lower parts of the tower, which date from the later part of the 13th century.

The church has undergone significant changes over the centuries. Between 1845 and 1850, it was rebuilt by the architects Sharpe and Paley of Lancaster, with the exception of the tower, the north chapel, and two turrets. In 1861, E. G. Paley added another stage to the tower, including pinnacles and clock faces. The church was further restored and partly re-faced in 1922, with subsequent repairs continuing to the present day.

Inside, the church features six-bay arcades on quatrefoil piers and a coffered roof. The interior houses a reredos and pulpit designed by Paley, and a chancel screen from 1901 designed by W. D. Caroe. The church also houses a ring of ten bells, all cast in 1935 by John Taylor & Co of Loughborough.
