What a beautiful place. It's a crying shame that a lot of Wigan's great places are long gone
We have had confirmation that Harrock Hall is still standing. The following websites about Harrock Hall.
This first one was updated by Mr Rob Watt on January 6, 2007, proving
that Harrock Hall still exists.

The Lancashire Parish Portal also mentions Harrock Hall in its
description of Wrightington council.

And a reply from the Local Council ormskirk.enquiries@lcl.lancscc.gov.uk
states it is still standing. And a maps.google.com search certainly shows an impressive building stading in its correct location.
It would be great to get a definitive answer.

I believe is was the birth place of one of our English Martyrs St. John Rjigby . Is there any reference or relic
there?
My 12th GG Father was Nicholas Rigby who apparently was from Harrock Hall. Does anyone have any info on that?
I have traced my family tree back to this place, I am wondering if it is possible to view tour the place? I will be visiting next summer 2022 from Nova Scotia, Canada.
Does William Ainscough the property developer still live there.
