Mellor

Mellor is situated on a high ridge overlooking the low-lying area of the Fylde, Ribble Valley and Blackburn.

Close to Mellor's village hall is a playing field and a tennis court which proves very popular in the summer. In the centre of the village there is a playground adjacent to a small public library and a doctor's surgery, which share the same building. There are three pubs in the village.

Mellor Moor was the site of a Roman encampment, an outpost of the one at Ribchester.

St. Mary's church was built 1829 and is of particular interest and possesses a very fine peal of Guildford Chimes. The internal woodwork is of English oak and the very valuable chancel and organ screens are beautiful examples of woodcarving. The stained glass windows on the south side of the church are early 19th century Flemish art.
