Slaidburn

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Slaidburn is a village in the county of Lancashire, England, forming part of the Ribble Valley local government district. Until the reorganisation of English Counties effected by the Local Government Act 1972, Slaidburn was part of the West Riding of Yorkshire.

Slaidburn lies near the head of the River Hodder, within the Forest of Bowland, an Area of Outstanding National Beauty. The parish of Slaidburn includes the settlements of Newton in Bowland, Dunsop Bridge and Easington.

Farming is still a major employer, but the area attracts tourists − for walking in particular.

The parish church of St Andrew has a superb Jacobean screen and a fine Georgian pulpit.

The brass band composer William Rimmer (1862-1936) composed the now-popular march, named Slaidburn after the village, for the Slaidburn Silver Band.
