Historical Description

At the village of Standish, seven miles from Leyland, a family of the name of Standish, appears to have settled, from a period soon after the Conquest. Of this family was John Standish, Esq. who, according to Holinshed, was a servant to King Richard II., and distinguished himself by wounding Wat Tyler, in the memorable rencontre between him and the monarch, in Smithfield. For this service he, with the mayor and citizens who were then present, were knighted. Among other eminent persons in this family, was Sir Ralph Standish, who commanded an army in France, under Henries the Fifth and Sixth; and Sir Alexander Standish, who was knighted for his valiant behaviour at the battle of Hopton-field, in Scotland, in 1482. Henry Standish also, who was made Bishop of St. Asaph, in 1519, accompanied Sir John Baker, on an embassy to Denmark, in 1526; and, in 1530, was one of the bishops who assisted Queen Catherine, in the suit concerning her divorce from Henry the Eighth. The living of Standish is a rectory, worth more than 700l. per annum, and is in the gift of the lord of the manor. The church, a handsome building, with a steeple, was erected in 1584, chiefly by the aid of the rector, who maintained the workmen with provisions during the time. Within it, is a tomb of Sir Edward Wrightinton, Knt., an eminent counsellor, who died in 1658. Another is raised to the memory of the first Protestant rector, Richard Moodie, of whom there is a statue, dressed in a Franciscan habit, of which order he had been, before he conformed to the Protestant establishment, with an inscription declarative of his munificence, as above stated.

The seat of Sir Frank Standish, Bart. is at Duxbury Hall, about a mile and a half south of Chorley, on the west side of the road towards Adlington Hall, in the way to Wigan. This place is chiefly appropriated to a Stud-Farm.

Dr. Leigh has represented, and described, a small signet in a copper Urceolus, which was found near Standish; at which place were also discovered, at the same time, about 200 Roman coins, "and two gold rings, of the equites auratii, or Roman knights." The township of Standish, with Lang-tree, four miles north-west of Wigan, have considerably increased in houses and population, since the census of 1811.
