Note: Clitheroe had no official Arms until 1952, but Burke’s ‘General Armory’ (19th century) quotes, ‘Azure on a mount vert a castle embattled, with three towers domed, on each a pennon all or.’ This castle still features in the current Arms.


The Corps formed in May 1861 became part of the 8th Administrative Battalion (Blackburn), this corps becoming the 2nd Lancashire Rifle Volunteers in 1880.
