...no substitute for experience!”Canon Andrew Holliday Lighting Feature

ST WILFRIDS Parish Church sits dominating Market Place Standish as it has done for nearly 450 years. It is the only Grade 1 Listed Building within the Borough of Wigan and the roof is reputed to be the finest in Lancashire, a claim that is hard to disagree with. The wiring system (in the region of 45 – 50 years old) had deteriorated over a number of years to such a point where further repairs were no longer feasible. The lighting had been replaced approximately 25 years previous and many of the outlets were providing problems in regards on-going maintenance.
Reverend Canon Andrew Holliday ‘’I came to St Wilfrids in 2011 and although I was immediately struck by the beauty and presence in the building I always felt that the lighting did little to enhance the
experience for the parishioners nor for our many visitors’’ In 2013 the PCC formed a small working party to establish the most suitable method of providing a worthy solution and held preliminary discussions with various persons and organisations ranging from manufacturers’ representatives to fee based consultants and a very small selection of suitably qualified designer/installers worthy of being involved. David Johnson – Project Coordinator on behalf of the PCC ‘’Following our initial interviews we felt comfortable engaging further with Anthony J Smith(Glos)Ltd as they had worked on many similar projects and the feedback we gained from their previous clients was both encouraging and reassuring. Their
understanding and appreciation of our needs helped provide the

guidance the project required, it was clear that although they had worked on many similar projects previously they treated the requirements at St Wilfrids as an opportunity to match our unique needs to an affordable bespoke solution!” Neil Blake from Anthony J Smith(Glos)Ltd ‘’Following my original meeting with the representatives of the church I responded with a small selection of options which each had an indicated likely cost. It became apparent that the bespoke pendant solution for the Nave best met the needs although obviously many of the fine features and individual areas also needed sympathetic and subtle illumination. All outlets were latest generation and best quality Led units and the entire new lighting system is controlled through a full Dali addressable scene setting
