More about this scene
Ormskirk's parish church, dedicated to St Peter and St Paul, dates from about 1276. It is unusual in that it has a separate bell tower. The explanation is that during the Dissolution the church received a peal of bells, some or all coming from the disbanded Burscough Priory. The tenor bell is inscribed 'Burscough Priory' and stamped with the dates 1497 and 1576.

This bomb fell beside a tree in the pavement and shrapnel or debris killed a man sitting in his front room ...see more
