Hope Chapel Wigan (Architectural Competition)

HOPE CHAPEL, WIGAN —The Building Committee having advertised for designs for a new chapel, near the Market-square, received about a dozen designs from various architects. They ultimately selected, we hear, the one submitted by Mr. George Heaton, architect and civil engineer, of Wigan, as being entitled to the premium offered, viz., fifteen guineas. The cost of the building will be about £3,000.
