The Parish Church of St Mary's holds the privileged status of being Knowsley's only Grade I listed…read morebuilding. It's a magnificent piece of architecture, dominating the town (and in fact the whole county, of which its steeple is the highest point above sea-level). The interior is packed with interesting historical and architectural features, and on one of several days of the year when the church is open to tourists, there is usually an expert on hand to give a free guided tour. If you're looking for a place of worship, the church is a friendly, diverse community with a traditional, fairly high church style of service. The highlight of the week's worship is Sung Eucharist at 10am on Sunday.

Prescot is an ancient market town, already important enough by the 14th century to appear on the…read morefamous Bodleian Library map of Britain. Formerly part of the hundred of West Derby, the county of Lancaster and the diocese of Chester, Prescot now belongs to the diocese of Liverpool and has been since 1970 one of the constituent towns of the metropolitan borough of Knowsley. The hill site and circular churchyard of the parish church suggest Celtic origins. The name Prescot means 'priests's dwelling'. By medieval times Prescot had developed into a thriving market town and had become head of a huge parish covering much of SW Lancashire, extending for 58 square miles and including 15 separate townships. The manor came into the possession of the crown through the duchy of Lancaster and in 1447 Henry VI bestowed it as a founding endowment on his new King's College at Cambridge. Both town and parish have rich historical records, with manor court rolls surviving from 1511, churchwardens' accounts from 1523 and parish registers from 1538. The earlier portions of all these have been transcribed and published and the remainder are deposited at the Lancashire Record Office in Preston. The parish church is a Grade I Listed building (the only one in the borough). It was largely rebuilt in 1610 and the existing nave, and roof are all of this date. Of the earlier church, only the vestry, font and parts of the chancel walls survive. The present tower was built in 1729 and the spire in 1797. The side aisles were widened in 1819. Despite catastrophic redevelopment in the 1960s, involving the demolition of many of the town's Georgian buildings and the destruction of parts of the medieval street pattern, the town retains many ancient features, including a long section of the ancient town walls. The town developed as a centre of coal-mining and pottery and was also an important coaching centre. From the 18th century its chief fame lay in the production of watch movements and files: a process splendidly displayed in today's Prescot Museum. In the 20th century there arose an almost exclusive dependence on cable-making and the departure of B.I.C.C. left huge employment problems however in recent years much work has gone into encouraging inward investment and there is hope of future growth with modern factory units and good motorway links. Knowsley Borough Council has completed a comprehensive redevelopment and renewal of the town centre, including the semi-pedestrianisation of the area of Church Street adjacent to the Parish Church and the replacement of the old BICC site with the large Cables Retail Park. The town which can easily be by passed is well worth a visit with a host of good eateries and decent shopping.

Knowsley hall is arguably one of the best venues in our humble region that is the northwest…read more Situated inside a measley 2,500 acre privately owned estate, boasting a safari park, inhouse catering, spa and accomodation, you'd be hard pressed to find a more extravagent estate in the region. The venue however is for the majority of time used for special occasions such as weddings and conferences. Although they do hold private events such as tea parties. The grand nature of the Hall obviously dictates its usage for all things opulent. It really is like entering another world as you step inside. One of the many ways of experiencing the delights of Knowsley hall is to book a spa package. Now it isn't exactly cheap; £155 per person, but it does include facial, deep scalp massage, head, neck and shoulder massage with fabulous oils of your choice and use of the hydropool and relaxation area. This is followed by coffee and homemade cakes which will boost your energy and prepare you nicely for what is to come. Post cakes and coffee you will be collected by a personal chauffeur to escort you to Knowsley Hall in style. Here you will enjoy a delicious three course lunch prepared by their fantastic team of Chefs avec une glass of Champagne and wine with your meal in an awe inspiring dining room. After dining you can then walk off some calories in stunning surroundings of the estate grounds, to cap off a memorable experience. All this pampering does come at a cost however as I mentioned and the booking requires a minum of 3 people, so that is forking out a poultry £465 at least. However as I mentioned, yes there are probably cheaper options but then again this particular package does come with the grand background of a historic estate. The only other chance to see the Hall is on 5 occasions a year in August when a £12 ticket gets you a tour of the Hall, so I suggest you get booking.... its round the corner..

It is absolutely stunning, a breath taking location and 5* Gold standard for accommodation. There is a wonderful long drive which takes you to the front door. I could just imagine being in my wedding dress feeling amazing, with my new husband beside me, hand in hand, being chaffeured up the drive in an old car. Oh yes oh yes, I can keep dreaming. If of course you don't have your wedding at Knowsley Hall, you could always have your hen party there and take advantage of the spa packages. But at the prices of the packages, I think it would definitely have to be a rich hen and rich chickens that go along. I will keep dreaming!

It's extremely unsafe. The decor in the building could do with a lot of updating. The staff who work there seem very demoralised & really not enjoy working there. They do offer a good astro turf area for playing football & there are lots of people who use this facility.Overall though it's certainly not a place I would like to go too - certainly not as a party venue which is what it is advertised as. Yet again the council has let this building go downhill & it's such a shame that they are doing nothing to bring it up to date.
