Friends of Waterhouse Chapels
Wigan Building Preservation Trust is forming a Friends Group to support the restoration of the neglected Ince Cemetery Chapels, the first public works of the renowned Victorian architect Alfred Waterhouse This project is more than a restoration — it’s a journey into the rich history of Ince and its heritage. Celebrating the past can help shape a vibrant future for the Chapels and we would love you to be part of it.
