The Manor Farm Pub

Highlight • Restaurant

Your next visit to Prescot wouldn’t be complete without a visit to The Manor Farm in Rainhill. An old 17th-century farm house that was converted into a pub in 1977, tradition is at the heart of everything we do. Inside we even have an original well containing fresh water. We’re big fans of cask ale at the Manor Farm and offer a rotating selection of regional and national beers to try to suit every taste. And to go with it, we have a fantastic range of traditional pub food. From light bites to hearty dishes that will keep you going all day long, we’ve got something for everyone. If you’re lucky enough to visit us on a sunny day, then make the most of it by enjoying our large patio areas that have fantastic views of Merseyside. We look forward to welcoming you soon.

Traffic-Free Cut-Through: Rainford to Widnes

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Tarmac all the way, following the path of a disused road and cutting between fields. Great shortcut and no traffic!
Be careful of people who park right up to the access gateway, at the southern (Widnes) end of the route.

Holy Family RC Church is situated on Hall Lane and is a building of over 100 years old. The Church was funded and built by the Stapleton-Bretherton family of Rainhill. It is dedicated to the memory of Frederick Stapleton-Bretherton, his wife the Honourable Isabella Stapleton-Bretherton and two of their children, Mary Stapleton-Bretherton (Sister of Charity) and 2nd Lieutenant Robert Charles Lucius Stapleton-Bretherton who died in the South African War. The two children are commemorated in two stained glass windows in the south transept.

The Church was opened on 15th August, 1910. It was built using sandstone sourced from Mr Stapleton-Bretherton’s quarry in Rainhill. The architect was Mr Gilbertson of Liverpool and the builder was Mr Mercer of Widnes.
