Toponymy

Bracewell: from a personal name, either Braegd or Breiđ, + 'well' = 'spring or stream': hence, 'Braegd's/Breiđ's spring or stream' ^[4]

Brogden: 'The valley of the brook'.^[5]

History

The old Roman road from Ribchester to Ilkley passes through the parish, with the remains of a 4th-century Romano-British farmstead known as Bomber Camp located next to the boundary with Gisburn.^[6]

Bracewell was once a very small ancient parish in its own right. Brogden was a township in the ancient parish of Barnoldswick. It used to include the Admergill area now part of Blacko. Both were part of the Staincliffe Wapentake in the West Riding of Yorkshire. Both became civil parishes in 1866, forming part of the Skipton Rural District until 1974.^[7]^[8]
