St. Michaels Church, Hoole, and Carr House, Bretherton, where Horrocks lived and worked from 1639.

Carr House dates from 1613 and belonged to John Stones, who was a benefactor to the church at Hoole. Horrocks was probably a tutor to the children of the house when he lived there, and it was from the window immediately above the front door that he made his observations.

The parish church dates from c.1628 and so was quite new when Horrocks arrived. 

In 1859 a marble tablet and stained-glass windows commemorating Horrocks were installed. 

(He is also remembered on a plaque in Westminster Abbey, and has a crater on the moon named after him).
