Lathom, a place steeped in history and beauty. Nestled along the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, it is home to the magnificent Top Locks where the canal branches off to Rufford. The picturesque scenery here is truly breathtaking. One of Lathom's notable events was undoubtedly the best attended private view featuring society and renowned artists Sir John and Lady Lavery's captivating pictures. Among their masterpieces was a mesmerizing portrait of Xenia, Countess of Lathom, painted with exquisite detail on canvas. For those seeking adventure or simply wanting to explore this charming area, a helpful tool would be the West Lancashire L40 5 Map. It will guide you through every nook and cranny of Lathom, ensuring you don't miss any hidden gems. Delving into its rich political history, we find that Lathom has strong ties to influential figures such as Carlo Pellegrini. His artwork "A Conservative Whip" from 1871 showcases his talent for capturing political personalities with finesse. The name "Lathom" itself holds significance as it refers to Edward Bootle-Wilbraham, also known as the 1st Earl of Lathom. This nobleman played an integral role in shaping both local and national affairs during his time at Whitehall. However, one cannot discuss Lathom without mentioning its most famous historical event - the Siege House. This epic battle between Royalist forces led by Charlotte Stanley (Countess of Derby) against Parliamentarian troops left an indelible mark on this town's legacy. Moving forward in time brings us to another memorable moment: THE QUEEN AT DERBY passing under Arch at the Corner of London and Osmaston Roads. This regal visit brought immense joy and pride to all who witnessed it firsthand. Lastly, we celebrate Southport's Hundredth Birthday with none other than the Earl delivering a heartfelt address during the festivities.
