Whalley was an ancient English ecclesiastical parish based in the hundred of Blackburnshire, in Lancashire, but with detached sections extending into areas historically in the West Riding of Yorkshire.[1][2] At one time it contained 47 townships and extended over 430 square kilometres (105,000 acres).[3] Whalley was the second largest parish in England.[4]
It anciently included also the present parishes of Blackburn, Chipping, Mitton, Ribchester, Rochdale, and Slaidburn, which have been separated from it at different times.[5]
History
editThe Anglo-Saxon Chronicle mentions a battle at Whalley in Northumbria in 798.[6] There are three well-preserved Anglo-Saxon crosses at Church of St Mary and All Saints, Whalley.[7] The Church of St Mary in Wallei is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086.[8] Its endowment of “two carucates of land free of all custom” has been interpreted as the church being one of the wealthiest in what would become Lancashire.[9]

A survey in 1296 when the monks from Stanlow Abbey took control of the parish, gives the following details of the chapelries:[11]
- Whalley included Mitton cum Henthorn, Wiswell, Coldcoats, Great Pendleton, Read, Simonstone, Padiham cum Whitaker, Hapton and Birtwistle
- Clitheroe included Chatburn, Worston, Great and Little Mearley and Little Pendleton.
- Downham included Twiston
- Colne included Alkincoats, Foulridge, Fernside cum Barnside, Marsden and Little Marsden.
- Burnley included Cliviger, Worsthorne, Extwistle, Briercliffe, Habergham and Ightenhill.
- Church included Oswaldtwistle, Duckworth and Huncoat.
- Haslingden.
A report from 1650 shows the parish then had 35 townships with:[12]
- Padiham chapelry including Hapton, Simonstone and Higham Booth.
- Clitheroe no longer includes Little Pendleton but adds Heyhouses.
- Accrington is still extra-parochial.
- Altham includes part of Clayton and the minister at that time was Thomas Jollie.
- Haslingden now includes Newhallhey, part of Rawtenstall Booth, Oakenshaw and Constable Lee Booths and part of Wolfenden Booth from Rossendale Forest.
- Newchurch in Pendle is parochial.
- Goodshaw is still extra-parochial.
- Whitewell is still extra-parochial.
- Newchurch in Rossendale is parochial.
Extra-parochial areas
editThe chapel of St. Michael at Clitheroe castle is mentioned in charters from 1120, and was ecclesiastically separated from Whalley. Some records call it extra-parochial and it is sometimes described as the parish church of the castle and demesne, with the forest districts of the honour.[13] When Henry de Lacy (c.1251-1311) gave Whalley to the monks of Stanlaw (Whalley Abbey), he withheld the chapel and its district. In 1334, the Abbey entered a legal battle for control over it, finally purchasing the advowson from John of Gaunt in 1365.[14] However they maintained the castle parish as a separate district.[13] After the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the late 1530s, the benefactions it had received under the monks where transferred to the chapel at Whitewell.[15] The dependent chapelries at Newchurch in Pendle, Newchurch in Rossendale, and Whitewell in Bowland, subsequently joined Whalley.[14] Other parts of the forests joined neighbouring parochial chapelries, such as Trawden with Colne.[15] With the chapel in ruins following the Civil War, in 1660 the allowance for the chaplain was transferred to St Mary Magdalene's Church, Clitheroe.[13]
The following areas are labeled extra-parochial on the first Ordnance Survey map of the area from 1848: Clitheroe Castle, Standen and Standen Hey, and Pendleton Hall (Both now Pendleton), Heyhouses, Ightenhill Park, Reedley Hallows, Filly Close and New Laund Booth, Wheatley Carr Booth, Henheads, and Dunnockshaw.[16]
