The name Pendle Hill derives from the Ancient British word ‘pen’ meaning ‘hill’, which predates the First Century Roman Invasion. By about the 7th Century, when it was largely forgotten what ‘pen’ meant, the Old English word ‘hyll’ was added and by 1305 the name was recorded as ‘Penhul’ in the Charters of the Manors of Henry de Lacy, a nobleman who owned a vast acreage of land around the area at that time.
Later, in about the 15th Century, the origins of the word ‘hul’ (by now changed to ‘dle’) had been lost to the mists of time so a further Hill was added, leading to the name we know it by today, the triple tautology – ‘hill hill hill’.
