Where / What / Who - 2

Do you think that’s why they used a St John’s cross rather than a St George’s cross, Naughty Mitten, to avoid the Knights Templar connection?

Church of St George, Water Street, Wigan


(The signs outside say ‘St George’s Centre, Home of St George’s and Gateway’)

Church. 1781, damaged by fire 1980, restored 1988. historicengland.org.uk/listing

Either that or they had no red paint

This might be difficult …

I agree, they had no paint whatsoever to paint the crosses

A clue, what wood there is painted, is in black and white.

It is, Ray

Cheers Jo Anne.

A bit of a beggar this one

I did think of this

The black & white detail is similar, Lolly. I think of it as being a Tudor feature, but researched online to find they didn’t paint the timber black (with tar) till later.

Not so difficult Parbold rules

I know this one, Lolly, I just need to do some research on Parbold Rules.

Clever

For the record, yesterday's 11-22 pm post is Tudor House New Market St.

Didn't realise until a few minutes ago that the top end of Frog Lane is New Market St.

Your research was here jo anne

Jo anne, did you get permission to go in from he who must be obeyed?

No, Naughty Mitten!

Could it be a bridge?

Not a bridge.

A statue?
