More about this scene
The hamlets of Stopper Lane, Martin Top, Newby and Howgill comprise this small, scattered community recorded in Domesday Book. Francis Duckworth in the 19th century wrote a hymn that became so famous it was named after his village, and commemorated in a plaque. Rimington, along with Stopper Lane, was known for lead mining. Fluctuating Lancashire and Yorkshire boundaries have confused and annoyed villagers.
