About Pennington

Pennington breathes a quiet dignity, a place where the past lingers softly in the air. It lies 1.5 km south of Leigh (from Leigh: bearing 188°T, OS grid SJ 654 987). The landscape around Pennington, a gentle sweep of fields and waterways, often catches the late afternoon sun in a way that seems to hold a particular, fleeting beauty. Historically, its fortunes were tied to the land, with agriculture forming the backbone of its early existence, a foundation now overlaid with the faint echoes of industrial change. The parish church, St. Michael and All Angels, with its venerable stone and spire reaching towards the sky, stands as a silent witness to centuries of communal life, its bells marking the passage of time with a resonant hum. Even the names of its streets whisper tales of former livelihoods, hinting at a time when the rhythm of Pennington was dictated by the seasons and the needs of its people.
