Blessed are the geographically challenged
Roger Wrenno (aka Wrenall) was a Chorley weaver who was imprisoned in Lancaster gaol for assisting priests. He escaped one night with a fellow prisoner (a priest from Whalley) but was captured the following morning near the gaol after apparently walking around in circles all night. The pair were both hanged shortly afterwards. Had Roger been proficient with map and compass he might never have become a Catholic martyr. This plaque is on a wall on Market Street near St Mary's Catholic church.

St Mary's Catholic Church, Chorley
In 1851 The Roman Catholic church purchased the Mount Pleasant estate from the Catholic Harrison family for the purpose of building a new church and school. The Mount Pleasant name is believed to have come about because of the views to the eastern hills from here. The building was designed by Joseph A. (or John - sources differ) Hansom (of 'Hansom cab' fame), with the tower added in 1894. It is now grade II listed.
