Farm Wedding | St Aidan’s Church

About 1539 the people of Billinge, who till now had had to travel into the centre of Wigan to attend the Parish Church, decided that they should have their own place of worship within the village. A chapel of ease was built, paid for by the inhabitants, which, according to Rev Wickham, was probably similar in size and design to those which were built at Rivington in 1540 and Langho in 1557. The church at Rivington has been modified since then, Langho is virtually unchanged but is no longer in use for worship. It was almost certainly very poorly furnished, for when the King’s Commissioners arrived in 1552 the only thing which they considered worth taking was the bell.

Georgina & James The bride and groom

What a day! I had the best day and night capturing the wedding celebrations of Georgina & James at St Aidan’s Church. The happy couple tied the knot in a family and friends filled ceremony at St Aidan’s Church in Billinge before continuing the celebrations into the early hours at the the family farm in Crank. The entire wedding celebration was unbelievable and had such a great vibe to the whole event. Thank you so much again for allowing me to capture it!
