Rufford
A fertile
agricultural parish, Rufford extends west from the River Douglas to
include Rufford Village on the A59 Ormskirk to Preston road, and,
further west, the scattering hamlets of Holmeswood and Mere
Side.
Rufford, an attractive village of white-walled houses, is notable
because of its church and its old and new halls. The church, built
in 1869, is a very fine building in the Gothic Revival manner with
an attractive spire. Rufford Old Hall is maintained by the National
Trust who open it to visitors.
