Worston

A village seemingly far removed form the nearby A59. Worston is a peaceful place with one street and a welcoming hostelry and many links to the past. A pre-historic burial ground was found on Worsaw Hill. In 1778, workmen widening the road to Chatburn found 1,000 Roman silver Denarii. Fragments of the ancient Sawley Abbey were incorporated into the building of Worston Hall. In a small meadow behind the main street are the remains of a bullring, where the stone and bronze ring to which the bull was tethered can still be found.
