The first Wigan Grammar School was endowed in 1597. This building, on Parsons Walk was the fourth school, opened in 1937 (http://www.wigangrammarschool.co.uk/School4.htm Wigan Grammar School). After the grammar school closed in 1972, it became Mesnes High School until 1989, and then the Mesnes Building of Wigan College. It was designated a Grade II listed building in 1997 (http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-484939-mesnes-building-of-wigan-college- British Listed Buildings). Since 2003, it has been known as the Thomas Linacre Centre and is an out-patient department for the Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Trust (http://www.wwl.nhs.uk/Internet/Home/Hospitals/tlc.asp ).
