Church of St Thomas the Martyr, Up Holland

The Church of St Thomas the Martyr is in School Lane, Up Holland, Lancashire, England.

It is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of Ormskirk, the archdeaconry of Warrington, and the diocese of Liverpool.

[2] The building was founded in 1307 as a college for a dean and twelve secular priests by Robert de Holland, who was secretary to Thomas Plantagenet, Earl of Lancaster.

However, in 1319 the college was converted into a priory by Walter Langton, Bishop of Lichfield, because of charges of misbehaviour by the priests.

The interior of the church was reordered in 1772, when galleries and box pews were installed, and a plaster ceiling was added.

The two-light bell openings contain louvres, and above them is a small top stage containing clock faces.
