Samlesbury history

---

The village’s name is derived from the Old English sceamol, meaning ledge and burh meaning fortification. It may also be that the name at least partly derives from the Roman name for the River Ribble and its eponymous Celtic deity, Belisama. In the 13th and 14th centuries, there was fortified house near the river, probably a stone tower, held by the Denyas family.
