Salendine Nook history

---

There is no record of Salendine Nook in the 1086 Domesday Book. Lindley (Lilleia) and Quarmby (Cornebi) are both mentioned, albeit as ‘waste’ The Mortons, who became a major influence in the area, are believed to have settled in the 16th century. Edmond de Morton and “a numerous Scotch family” fled from religious persecution in Scotland to find a home south of the border.

Pottery

The Mortons were potters, and the area attracted them because it was the source of a very pure clay worked for the manufacture of earthenware pottery. The clay was found in the seat-earths in a geological formation known as the Lower Coal Measures at Lockwood Scar, Lindley Moor and Salendine Nook.

Salendine Nook Baptist Chapel

Michael Morton registered his barn in October 1689 as a meeting house for Protestant dissenters and established the building as a religious site. The Toleration Act of the same year allowed for a degree of religious freedom which had not existed before. A meeting house was opened on the land of Joseph Morton between 1743 and was replaced by a larger one in 1803. The current Baptist Chapel was built in 1843.
