St. Peter and St. Paul's
This is one of only three parish churches in England to have a tower and a spire, and is unique in that it has both at the same end of the building. (The other two are at Purton and Wanborough, both villages near Swindon, in Wiltshire). Legend has it that Orme had two sisters, one who wanted a tower and one who wanted a spire, and Orme built both to please both. Regrettably, the truth is not so romantic. The 'steeple' dates from the early fifteenth century, a hundred years before the tower , but the original blew down in 1731 and was rebuilt between 1790 and 1832. The large west tower was added to the church around 1548 to house the bells of nearby Burscough Priory following the dissolution of the monasteries. One of these bells can still be seen in the church.

Hardly pedestrianised: Church Street, Ormskirk
Despite various No Entry and No Parking signs, Church Street, one of the main shopping streets in the town, is invariably crowded with parked cars and vans.
