HOWGILL, a hamlet in Rimmington township, Gisburn parish, W. R. Yorkshire; on a branch of the river Ribble, near the boundary with Lancashire, 5½ miles NE of Clitheroe. Howgill House is the seat of the Wilkinsons.
Howgill is now part of RIBBLE VALLEY District. Click here for graphs and data of how RIBBLE VALLEY has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Howgill itself, go to Statistics.
