Toponymy

Hollingworth was recorded Holisvrde before 1059 and in 1086. Its name is derived from the Old English holegn, for holly and worð an enclosure.

Early history

An ancient pagan religious site known as Wedneshough Green was in Hollingworth. A grassy knoll opposite the Gunn Inn was anciently called Wedenshaw or Woden’s Hawe. The region was populated by Celts, the Pecsaetans a southern branch of the Brigantes. The group became a distinct ethnic tribe in the Mercian Kingdom of the West Angles.

Manor

Members of a single family, the Hollingworths, were lords of the manor for more than 700 years. Local lords assumed the name of their manor as their surname. The family’s ancient arms are three holly leaves. In 1059 when the Saxons ruled Cheshire, the land was held by a freeman who owed his rights to his senior lord; Edwin the Earl of Chester.
