Millom is special. Why? Because it has been inhabited throughout much of history. How many places can boast of Prehistoric footprints, Neolithic crop marks (with several stone monuments not far away), possible Bronze Age round house, likely Roman occupation, inclusion in the Domesday Book, a Medieval Castle and Church, on site involvement in the English Civil War (Roundheads and Cavaliers), an annual fair and weekly market from 1251 until about 1777, a possible deserted medieval village then right through to its important industrial heritage.

The aim of this section of the website is to work our way through the different historic periods, sharing related information, relevant artefacts found in or around Millom and links to further information. It is a work in progress and will take some time to complete. Click on each title to take you to the relevant page.
