Although entirely on the western side of the Pennine
watershed, Saddleworth’s links with the County of York can be
traced back in history to Norman times. Saddleworth, or Quick as
it was alternatively known, was throughout the Middle Ages a Township
in the West Riding of Yorkshire and had from the twelfth century been
part of the Honour of Pontefract, the Yorkshire fiefdom of the de Lacy
family, granted to them by the Conqueror.

Saddleworth
The aim of this site is to give visitors an online taste of one of the hidden jewels of the Pennine hills. Saddleworth is a group of small villages situated about half an hour North-East of Manchester in the North of England, United Kingdom.
