Bataille de Wigan Lane

La bataille de Wigan Lane a eu lieu au nord de Wigan, le 25 août 1651, lors de la guerre anglo-écossaise de 1650-1652, entre les royalistes, commandés par James Stanley, 7e comte de Derby, et des éléments de la New Model Army, commandés par le colonel Robert Lilburne (en). Les royalistes furent défaits, perdant près de la moitié de leurs officiers et de leurs hommes. Le comte de Derby avait recruté 10 hommes de chaque paroisse de l'île de Man, soit 170 hommes en tout.
