Stories from the Graveyard - William Baker

3 Sep 2026

We are delighted to share a fascinating article by Andy Lomax, a familiar face at our coffee mornings and a member of the Wigan Local History Group. Andy explores the story of William “Farmer” Baker, whose portrait hangs at the top of the stairs in Park Lane Chapel, bringing to life the man behind the familiar face and his lasting local legacy. We hope you enjoy discovering his story in Andy’s article, The Legacy of Farmer Baker.
