Known for
The church with both a tower and a steeple (St Peter and St Paul, with both features — a unique architectural curiosity), Burscough Priory ruins, and a West Lancashire market town of medieval heritage
A little history
Ormskirk's parish church has both a tower and a steeple — an extraordinary architectural curiosity resulting from two separate families competing to endow the church. The town has been a market centre since the medieval period. Edge Hill University is nearby.
The church with tower and steeple is genuinely curious — look from the market place. The Thursday and Saturday markets for local Lancashire produce. Burscough Priory ruins are worth finding. The town centre for good independent shopping.
