- Q5442975 abstract "Fence is a village in the civil parish of Old Laund Booth, Pendle, Lancashire close to the towns of Nelson and Burnley. It lies alongside the A6068 road, known locally as the Padiham bypass. The parish (which includes the adjoining village of Wheatley Lane) has a population of 1,586.Fence is a small village along 'Wheatley Lane Road' and abuts the sister village of Wheatley Lane - because of this Fence and Wheatley Lane are often referred to together as 'Fence'. The present village now terminates to the west past St Anne's church, where the new bypass cuts the line of the old road.Fence was in the Hundred of Blackburn. Up until Late medieval times it lay in the Forest of Pendle, the hunting preserve of the King. The name of the village is derived from the fact that an enclosure was erected in the area within which the King's deer were kept. This became known as the "Fence" and the community that built up around it over time took the name. In 1507 Henry VII "surrendered [the parcel called the Fence] to the use of the tenants of Higham, West Close and Goldshaw Booth, to be held by them and their heirs for ever." First mention of Fence is in a document of 1402 as 'Fens in Penhill'.Being near Pendle Hill, Fence has a long shared history with other Pendleside villages and the Pendle Witches - some old local surnames are shared with the historical witches; for example, the Nutter family name. The local milkman who lives in Wheatley Lane is "Arthur Nutter" and the local garage is run by "Chris Nutter" (they say that they're not related).Cuckstool Lane, which runs south from the War Memorial was the original site of the village ducking stool where (the story has it) suspected witches were immersed in a pond - or more likely 'cuckolds' - those suspected of adultery.Hoarstones, which lies inside Fence, was the site of an ancient stone circle, and also the starting point for the 1633 witchcraft trials (see the entry under Wheatley Lane).The older properties on the village consist largely of small stone built cottages, with later housing developments from the 1960s onwards. There is unbroken countryside with fine walking country to the North to Pendle Hill and surrounding areas.Sports are catered for by Pendle Forest Sports Club. Fence, with Wheatley Lane, hosts several public houses and restaurants including The Bay Horse (currently closed), The Foresters Inn (now an Indian restaurant called Babar Elephant), The Fence Gate Inn, The White Swan, The Harpers Inn (now closed and in the process of being demolished to make way for six residential dwellings) and Ye Olde Sparrowhawk. There is also a small art shop/gallery, which was once a bakery. The villages are served by St Anne's church (CoE), two Methodist chapels and a primary school. Shops include a family-run Post Office and a village store/Off Licence.".
