A short history of Colne
Settlement near Colne goes back to the Stone Age and an Iron Age fort from the 6th century BC survives at Castercliff. Northumbrian and then Viking rulers held the area before the Normans took firm control in the 11th century. The de Lacys of Pontefract governed it from Clitheroe Castle between the 1090s and 1311, when Pendle Forest and Trawden Forest were created. St Bartholomew's Church predates 1122, when the market stood in its churchyard. By the 15th century Colne was the main market town locally and a woollen centre. Cotton took over after the Leeds and Liverpool Canal opened in 1816. Chartist riots in 1840 left special constable John Halstead dead. The railway arrived in 1848 and by 1891 there were 30 cotton mills. Of 25 listed buildings near the centre, St Bartholomew's is Grade I and 24 are Grade II.
