# The History of the Church and Manor of Wigan/Oliver de Langton

​Oliver de Langton, who, as Rector of Wigan, in 1451, covenanted, for himself and his successors, to pay £20 yearly to the Dean and Chapter of Lichfield. I suppose him, therefore, to have been admitted in that year. The pedigree of the Langtons in Baines's Lancashire gives an Oliver de Langton as younger son of that Henry de Langton, Baron of Newton, who died in 7 Hen. V. If this were the present rector, he will have been the brother of his predecessor, James de Langton.
In his time the churchyard of Wigan appears to have been the scene of some battle or civil brawl, in which human blood was shed, for by his letters of 15th March, 1457-8, R[eginald Boulers], Bishop of Lichfield, issues a commission to Ralph Ducworth, S.T.P., Vicar of Prestecote, and Sir Edward ffarington, Rector of Halsall, to inquire into the facts of the case. He tells them that since he heard that the cemetery of the parish church of Wigan, in his diocese, had been notoriously polluted by violence and the unlawful shedding of human blood, he had interdicted it from ecclesiastical sepulture until full reconciliation should have been made, and desires them to hold a legal inquiry as to the person by whom it had been polluted, and who had been the cause or occasion of it, and return to him a faithful ​report of the matter. It is unfortunate that no record of the return has been found in the Diocesan Register, for it would probably have recorded matters of interest connected with the History of Wigan. Oliver Langton was still living in 1462-3, when, as parson of the church of Wigan, he appears, by his attorney, against Robert Merik, late of Bedford, in the county of Lancaster, husbandman, and Matthew Astley, late of the same place, yeoman, in a plea for recovery of a debt of six marks, which he claimed from each of them.
After this I meet with no mention of any rector of Wigan till after the close of that century.

Entries concerning the pollution of churches and churchyards are not infrequent in the Lichfield Diocesan Register. A commission of inquiry was usually issued with power to interdict the churchyard, if found to be polluted, and to keep it closed until reconciled by an episcopal service. The form may be seen in Maskell's Ritualia, This course of treatment is one among many proofs that the churchyard, by virtue of consecration, was wholly under ecclesiastical jurisdiction. The parishioners' rights were contingent, and subject to suspension by interdict, with no remedy at common law (ex inf. Bishop Hobhouse).

# The History of the Church and Manor of Wigan/Richard Wyot

​Mr. Richard Wyot, S.T.P., was admitted 16th August, 1506, to the parish church of Wigan, vacant by the death of Sir Thomas Langton, by the Reverend Father and Lord Geoffrey, bishop of Coventry and Lichfield, on the presentation of King Henry VII. by reason of the minority of Thomas Langton, son and heir of Ralph Langton, deceased.
Richard Wyot (Wiot or Wyett) had been ordained acolyte 22 Feb., 1493-4, and was Proctor of the University of Cambridge in 1498 and 1501. He was admitted to the prebend of Bishopshill in the cathedral church of Lichfield, in September, 1506, which he resigned in January, 1508-9, for that of Ruiton in the same church, which latter he held from 10th February, 1508-9, ​until within a few weeks of his death. In the meantime he had been collated on 1st September, and admitted on 3rd September, 1507, to a prebend in the collegiate church of Southwell, which he retained till his death in 1522.
By an inquisition taken after the death of Sir Alexander Standish of Standish, knight, on 25th August, 1508, the jury found that the said Alexander died seized of a messuage called Bromley (now called Brimelow, in the township of Wigan), valued at 100s. per annum, which he held jointly with his wife Sibilla, who survived him, of Richard Wyot, Rector of Wigan, by the service of 27s. yearly; also of two burgages in Wigan, valued at four marks, which he held of the same Richard Wyot for a rent of 6s. 3d.
It appears from a petition presented to the King by Maister Richard Wyot, clerk, parson of the church of Wigan (the date of which is not given in the roll), that, for a long time past, it had been the use and custom of the town and borough of Wigan, whenever a vacancy in the mayoralty occurred, for the burgesses to elect three of themselves, whose names should be presented to the parson of the church of Wigan, who should appoint one of them to be mayor for the ensuing year.
Mr. Richard Wyot was Master of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, in 1509, which post he resigned in the following year. He resigned the rectory of Wigan in or before October, 1519, and on 13th November of the same year he was admitted as precentor of York, an office then void by the resignation of Thomas Linacre, who had already succeeded him at Wigan. Dr. Wyot died in July, 1522, and was buried at Southwell, in ​accordance with directions given in his will, being at the time of his decease a prebendary of Southwell, prebendary and precentor of York, and rector of Bingham, in the county of Notts. His will was proved on 31st October, 1522.

# The Great Salvation/Part 2

Part Two
To obtain the great salvation it is necessary that we understand and believe the things concerning the kingdom of God. Now, dear reader, do not persuade yourself that it is not necessary to have a correct view of this matter; for the things we are now to treat of are part of the gospel our Lord sent His apostles to preach, of which He said, "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved, and he that believeth not shall be condemned." Remember that to hold a false view of the gospel is to believe another gospel, or doing which some in the church at Galatia were said by the Apostle Paul to be bewitched (Gal. 3:1). If the gospel promises us an everlasting inheritance on the earth, and we persist in refusing to believe it and hold to the theory that our eternal abode is in heaven, we shall believe in "another gospel" and shall therefore lose the great salvation. Read Gal. 1:6-9 and see how important a matter this is.
It is the general belief that this earth is to be burnt up, and that all good men and women will finally be taken to heaven to enjoy eternity. This theory represents God's work, so far as the earth is concerned, as a failure; for if there is not a future for it better than the past--if the evils of the earth's past and present are not to be made to yield ultimate good--what else is it but a failure?
# The Great Salvation/Part 3

Part 3
What Must I Do to Be Saved?
NOW, dear reader, it will be evident to you from the Scriptures we have presented that man is mortal--a perishing creature, as the result of sin. That, by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men (Rom. 5:12). Sin having taken effect in the nature of our first parents, and that nature having been transmitted to us, we are dying creatures, and are therefore by nature children of wrath (Eph. 2:3). Our first parents having been cast out of Eden and from all it’s blessings, and having become alienated from God by sin, they have left us outcasts from paradise and aliens from the glorious promises of God which we have been reading about: Hence the Apostle Paul says, "Wherefore remember, that ye being in times past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands, that at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world "(Eph. 2:11, 12).
Our need of the great salvation is now apparent, and the question arises, To whom shall we go to obtain it?
In the Bible we read of the first Adam and the second Adam. In the first there is death; in the second there is eternal life. Our birth of the flesh gives us relation to the first only; but God in His goodness has opened up a way by which we may change our relationship from Adam the first to Adam the second, and thereby become now heirs of eternal life, and in the future possessors of that boon with all it’s glorious consequences.

DEDICATION
TO ALL THOSE WHO, NOT QUITE SATISFIED WITH TO-DAY, MAY BE SEEKING AFTER A HAPPIER TO-MORROW, THE AUTHOR BEGS TO Dedicate THIS WORK.
PREFACE.
A Preface is an explanation or an apology from the Author to the Reader.
In the present work the Author finds it difficult to write this Preface, for he cannot explain, and he does not care to apologise, honestly and sincerely as he desires to give no offence.
If he might make use of a somewhat hackneyed phrase, he would like to say that he was impressed to write what is here printed; in fact, that he had no rest, night ​nor day, until he accomplished his task.
Yet it was a work over which he hesitated long and doubtfully before beginning, for, although intensely interested in the subject, he would have liked if he could have deferred it until a more convenient season. But with that inward or outward urging, he was forced to give way at last and lend his pen, in spite of his early training, prejudices, and later-gained practical materialism, with the dread of incurring ridicule or giving offence, protesting all the while at this strange amble of his Pegasus.
Now, however, that the labour is over, he trusts that the result may interest some who may be curious about such occult matters, comfort others who may not be quite satisfied with what they ​do know at present, and exonerate the Author from all blame. He has done what he could to lift a small corner of the heavy veil which hangs between to-day and to-morrow, and now begs to leave this Great Secret to the thinking minds of
THE READER.
