Community is at the forefront for residents of Lathom
Rich in history, culture and beautiful surroundings, the village of Lathom is a real pearl in West Lancashire 's crown.
Nowadays, the history is a lot less bloody, but still just as palpable. On the site of Lathom Chapel sits 'Cromwell's Stone', a large boulder with three big holes seen on the top. These holes are said to have been used for casting shots by Oliver Cromwell's army during the siege of Lathom House - and it can still be seen to this day.
"We get a few locals and a few people coming in from Burscough, but it's a destination pub as well. Quite a lot of people from out of the area come in to Lathom." Not only is Lathom rich with history, but The Ship Inn is too. Ian explained the supposed legend of 'The Blood Tub', a nickname given to the establishment.
Down a few roads and you'll find yourself at the other pub in the village, the Ring O' Bells. The establishment has been opened for over a year after a full refurbishment and it's perfect for anyone looking for something a little bit different.
