Hothersall Hall, situated in the south of the parish, was the home of the Hothersall family from as early as the 12th century[3] until it was sold in the 18th century; the hall was demolished in the 1850s and replaced by a house built in the Gothic style that now stands on the site.[4]
The parish was part of Preston Rural District throughout the district's existence from 1894 to 1974.[5] In 1974 the parish became part of Ribble Valley.
