About Fencing in Heywood
Heywood in Lancashire has been settled since at least the Mesolithic period, with flint tools found in the area alongside later Bronze Age and Roman artefacts, and the town has formed part of Lancashire since the 1100s. Its most notable early resident was Peter Heywood, the local magistrate who helped uncover the Gunpowder Plot in 1605, with Heywood Hall serving as the seat of his family for generations afterwards. Toward the end of the 18th century Heywood was still little more than a village of handloom fustian weavers, but the working of coal in neighbouring townships and the enterprise of local mill owners transformed it into a busy manufacturing town, which was formally incorporated in 1881 before later becoming part of the Metropolitan Borough of Rochdale in 1974.
