Ormskirk is a small market town in West Lancashire and there's not too much tourism stuff to see here. One of the main historical spots is the Ormskirk Parish Church, which apparently is quite unique as it is one of only three parish churches in England to have a tower and a spire which is special because both are at the same end of the building. There are also many famous people buried here including Thomas Stanley, the first Earl, who caused Richard III to lose his crown by changing sides at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485.
It's easy to get to the church as it's just a couple minutes walk up the street from the town square with the clock tower. If you happen to be in Ormskirk, it's certainly worth strolling through the town and seeing this church. read more
