Latest reviews | Events in Mawdesley
Mawdesley is recorded as being an “extensive and fertile township between Croston and Wrightington” and this is still true today, nestling in the picturesque Lancashire countryside. History tells us that the town of Mawdesley gained its name as part of a dowry of one Matilda-Mawde when she married – and thus the town was born.
The Mawdesley family lived in the area for many years, it is thought that Mawdesley Hall was built by William Mawdesley in 1625, and then around four generations ago the family established themselves as basket manufacturers in what was the Towngate Basket Works which remained open until the 1960’s – no longer a basket works the building still stands today having been extensively renovated.
The village has historically been reliant on agricultural activity and today the village is surrounded by gently undulating farmland whilst meandering roads connect the farms and villages while major roads and motorways provide a fast route across the landscape, linking major towns. The landscape is relatively well wooded, with small farm woods and wooded valleys. It is no wonder that this village has been a past winner of the title “Best Kept Village in Lancashire” when set against this backdrop.
