As part of the national Heritage Open Days initiative, Ormskirk Parish Church opened its doors and provided guided tours (usually available on Saturdays and Thursdays during the summer season, or otherwise by appointment, in any case) as well as presentations on plans for celebrating the heritage of this iconic building – the only church in the country to have a tower and spire side-by-side and the symbol of West Lancashire and on recent discoveries which question the accepted and widely-published history of the building, as well as a short recital on the organ which also has its own claim to be of heritage significance, containing some pipework originating from the C18
