By Tudor times, many of the nobility had residences at Ormskirk, including Lord Stanley, descendant of the ancient sovereigns of the Isle of Man who was Lord of the manor and lived at the Mansion House on St Helen's Road.

A skirmish occurred in between the Royalists and Parliamentarian forces at Aughton Moor, and the parish church of Ormskirk was later bombarded.
