Warton
TLD44 · United Kingdom
Warton's parish church of Saint Oswald carries a notable historical connection: the Washington family, ancestors of George Washington, the first president of the United States, worshipped here. This Lancashire village near the Cumbria border also contains Warton Old Rectory, the ruins of a late 13th- or early 14th-century clergyman's house, and sits within a rural parish recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086. The wider region holds several UNESCO World Heritage sites.
