A short history of Milnrow
Hunter-gatherers camped by Piethorne Brook in the Mesolithic period. A silver statue of the goddess Victoria and Roman coins were found at Tunshill Farm in 1793. The Anglo-Saxons named the settlement and inscribed monastic stones from the 9th century were found at Lowhouse Farm. After 1066 Norman families held Butterworth, the wider area containing Milnrow. In 1253 Henry III granted the Knights Hospitaller rights to try thieves and erect a gallows. A map of 1292 shows "Milnehouses" here. In the 15th century local families pressed for a chapel of ease beside the River Beal, making Milnrow the main settlement of Butterworth. Woollen trade brought growth from the 17th century and cotton mills followed in the 19th. The railway arrived in 1863 and Milnrow Urban District was formed in 1894 before joining the Metropolitan Borough of Rochdale in 1974. Fifteen listed buildings stand near the centre, all Grade II, including the Church of St James.
