It is situated between Bamber Bridge and Leyland, and had a population of 77 in 2001.[1] HistoryThe name speculatively derives from the Welsh cerdin, the plural of cerdinen, "rowan", although the nearby Cuerdale derives from an Anglo-Saxon personal name. It could also be a derivation of 'coeur de lion' or Lionheart. The manor was given to Vivian Molyneux by Roger de Poitou and devolved to the Banastres, Charnocks, Langtons, and Fleetwoods.[2] The manor house, Cuerden Hall, is a country house begun in the 1717 on the site of a 17th century house, and extended between 1816-19 by Lewis Wyatt. During the Industrial Revolution, two cotton mills were built by the river by William Clayton and William Eccles, and employed more than seven hundred people in 1848.[2] St Saviour's Church was built in 1836–37, to a design by the architect Edmund Sharpe. GovernanceCuerden was a township in the ancient ecclesiastical parish of Leyland and the Leyland hundred.[2] It became part of the Chorley Poor Law Union, formed in 1837, which took responsibility for the administration and funding of the Poor Law and built a workhouse in that area.[3] GeographyCuerden covered 800 acres about 4½ miles south east of Preston on the River Lostock on the road between Preston and Wigan.[2][4] Cuerden Valley Park, south of the M6 and M65 junction, covers 650 acres, half of which is used for agriculture. The park has a lake and was once the estate of Cuerden Hall. See also
