To a local lad like myself born and bred in the area it’s known as The Hill, although at 557m it’s not far off being classified as a mountain. The name is made up of three different meanings of the word Hill, Pen from the Cambric, Hyll from old Engish which gave us the name Penhul as it became known in the thirteenth century. We then added our word for the same, Hill, which gives us when translated Hill Hill Hill.
Most people will know the area as the place the Witches came from as in 1612 the powers that be decided to force march nine women and two men to Lancaster and try them for murder by witchcraft. Ten of them were hanged by the neck until they were dead.
