Samlesbury is a small village and civil parish in the South Ribble borough of Lancashire, England. Samlesbury Hall, a historic house, is located in the village as well as Samlesbury Aerodrome. The village is also home to a large modern brewery belonging to Inbev, built in 1970–72 to brew lager for Whitbread; it also produces Boddingtons bitter.
The name Samlesbury possibly comes from the ancient name of the River Ribble and its eponymous Celtic deity Belisama. The Ribble was a source of power and the Romans built a working fort at the junction of the River Darwen and River Ribble at Walton-le-Dale. This fort was named Belisama.[citation needed] The "bury" part of the name comes from Old English burh, meaning "fort".
Jane Southworth, Jennet Brierley, and Ellen Brierley were charged with child murder and cannibalism at Preston Assizes on 18 August 1612, in the same series of trials as the Pendle witches.
