Church of St Peter and St Paul, Church Street, Ormskirk - West Lancashire

Large church with medieval origins, complicated history of rebuilding. Distinctive for having both a west tower and a separate spire over the entrance porch. West tower stonework appears very poor, with considerable wear and erosion. Exacerbated to the southwest by an outflow pipe channelling water onto the stonework below. Some repairs evident in the stonework on the north elevation of the tower, but poor stonework is widespread.
