This Anglican church is from 1170, on the site of a Saxon church; the carving set in its east wall probably originated there. Unusually, it has both a tower and a spire, from 15th century though later rebuilt. The Scarisbrick chapel is also 15th-century and the Derby chapel (resting place of eight Earls of Derby) is 16th, but the nave was re-done in Gothic in the late 19th century. The exterior is Perpendicular Gothic.
The Church of St Peter and St Paul is in the market town of Ormskirk, Lancashire, England. Dating from no later than the 12th century, it is one of only three churches in England to have both a tower and spire, and the only one to have them both at the same end of the church. It is an active Anglican parish church in the Diocese of Liverpool. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building.

The Mere was a large lake, drained in early modern times to reclaim as farmland. This corner of it is still lake and wetland, a WWT wildlife reserve. It has many migratory birds in winter but the flamingoes aren't hopelessly lost, there's also a "safari" section, and a webcam to watch the resident beavers.
Gorgeous timber-framed Tudor-Jacobean manor, with a 19th-century wing, and now run by National Trust. With fine gardens.
