I have proved very clearly tliat liie first land let in Pcndlo Forest was that claimed by the KatcUffes and was called Sapeden or Sapedenhey and orent- ually Heyhoiises, and thougli I tliink tlio terra Sab* den ought to denote the valley as a whole, yet if any one place lia» more riglit to it than another it is Heyhouses, as being the first village not only in the Sabden Valley, but, according to Whittaker, even in Fondle Forest. I sbeuld like to venture a suggestion that tlio moaning of Ileybouses is tlio houses within or near the liaise It eortainly has nothing to do with liigh housess as I have heard suggested sometimes, for we have Lower Hoyliouses, and to speak of lower Iiigli Iionses is rallier ridicu­ lous.

were enclosed by dykes and hedges called liaise Dominicalis, and I tliink it is likely tliat at the time the Ratcliffes appropriated Hoyhouses, some remains of tlie old dyke would roiiiain, and they would take advantage of it in enedosing the lamls of Sapedenliey. The same may ho said of Lop- tliurstliey, wliicli would be somewliere near the boundary between Pcndle Forest and Padiliam.and

Tliis would imply tliat there was at Ileyhousea a considerable hamlet or village at this early dale* I ha^e seen it stated that the place of meeting was at llie cross that stood in Goldsliaw before tlie clmicli was built, but it would be strange to drag ibe Abbot of Whallcy and charterers and customers so far from their homes, for Newcliurcli lies quite distant from most of tlie townships mentioned. The late Mr, Ilindlc said that Peudlc Cross was the point where the road from Colne to Clitheroc crossed tlic hill, and this agrees with what I have scon in a description of property lying in Pendleton iu babden, in which a trough,” evidently CImrn Clougli, is spoken of as

Now what is meant by a rood is, 1 tliink, a running, measure of seven yards, as is now used in walling and draining, and this will give over a mile of road made in Pendleton in the year 1777.

To think that because this district was called Pcn­ dle Forest tliat it was covered witli trees. Probab­ ly in the Saxon or Norman days the district was largely covered witli trees, but these liave been long exhauatod, ns the following extract from Wliit- aker’s History of Wliiilloy will prove:— “We find,” say the jurorsfin the time of James 1., that is early in the I71I1 century), “ that the quality of the said hootlies and vaceanes is cold and barren, yet by manuring, marling,‘and tilling will yield a certain grain called onts; and after niucli marling and til­ ling, in a short time it will grow to heatliling and rushes. ” And in an Immble petition to the king they declare “ tliat the soil of tlieir county is extremely barren, and as yet not capable of any other corn hut oats, and that in dry years, and notwitliout continual manuring every tliirdyear; and tliattlicy Iiave no timber trees within many miles tlicreof. ” No doubt tlicre were many cepscs of liazcl, alder, bircli, holly, and small oak trees, but evidently the

If you will look at the spars in tlie roofs of Crow Tree-row, for in­ stance, you will agree that it has a very local appearance, gnarled and crooked as it it had wcatliered Pcndle’s gales, and I am sure that it must Imve taxed llie ingenuity of the builders to make it lit.

Tlie oldest tliat I can remember was a sycamore situated in tlie wall a little to tlie cast of .Crsggs. It was decayed wlicn I was a hoy, and I fancy all vestiges of it have gone now.
