More about this scene
Although its style is medieval, this church, dedicated to St John the Evangelist, was built in 1885 by Sir Gilbert Greenall, a Lancashire MP and founder of the famous brewing company that bears his name. There is a window in the church that shows St George, but the face of the saint is that of a descendent of Sir Gilbert's who died in 1928.

I went to the park as a little girl as I lived at the public house the Walton Arms where I was born. I watched the dual carriageway being built, behind the pub. My grandfather worked at the Walton Hall with the horses and carriages, and another relation was a maid in the hall, I have got photos somewhere.
