Description

Built circa 1820, situated on the right hand side of the entrance in the churchyard.

Originally a home occupied by the Jesuit Fathers of the Wigan Mission.

Around 1890 the upper floors became home to the St. John's Young Mens Club. The ground floor "Lower Clubrooms" was used extensively by various parish organisations.

In the last few years it has been used by various commercial companies, currently unoccupied.
