Our History:
This community has been around for many years with the introduction of Christianity going back to St Cuthbert who was born in 634 AD. We’ve always been a “working” parish/village or what was once called ‘a Township’. I’m personally not sure which title I prefer, Township or Village. Once seems a little more idyllic than the other, and perhaps the fact that we have just about always been a commercial and industrial centre since long before Henry 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th, maybe ‘Township’ describes our little patch of the universe more accurately. It’s a matter or personal preference I suppose.
Whatever we get called, we’ve been here since long before the Romans and long may we continue.
Since the time of Henry VIII we’ve had connections with all kinds of industries, from Agriculture and mining, cotton milling, to iron, steel and gunpowder making sometimes being at the cutting edge of industrial change. So, something to be proud of.
