Giants Hall Farmhouse

The property is located in Standish Wood Lane, the medieval footpath that links Wigan to Standish, and is accessed via the junction of Willow Road and Acacia Crescent in Beech Hill. The present owner is Roger Gill, apart from an eight year period berween 1913 and 1921, members of his family have lived at Giants Hall for more than 150 years.

The residence derives its name from the huge glacial boulders near the house, which according to local belief are so large they must have been placed there by giants. One weighing five tons was considered to be in the way of farming operations, so was buried by Roger’s grandfather.
