Gassey, I know that one, but haven’t seen the added plaque yet - Wigan Today 
Oy, I’m looking forward to the answer to this one, it’s a mystery to me.

It is St John’s Cross, but I don’t think that’s a clue to the building it’s on

I had to look that up to get your clue, Naughty Mitten. 
St. George’s Cross, a red cross on a white background, was associated with the Knights Templar.
