Golborne David is a civil parish in the unitary authority of Cheshire West and Chester and ceremonial county of Cheshire, England. It is part of the local government ward of Tattenhall. [1]
In the 2001 census it had a population of 55. [2] The Office for National Statistics combined this figure with the neighbouring civil parishes of Chowley and Handley, with the total given as 227. [3] In the 2011 census these parishes were again combined, with the total population recorded as 253. [4]
The name Golborne means "marigold stream" and likely derives from the Old English words golde (marigold) and burna (a stream). During the thirteenth century, David de Golberne held this part, [5] with the remainder known as Golborne Bellow.
Golborne was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Colburne, [6] with ownership divided between William Malbank and Osbern, son of Tezzo. The entry lists eight households. [7]
Golborne David was a township within Handley parish of Broxton Hundred, which became a civil parish in 1866. The population was recorded at 62 in 1801, 74 in 1851, 67 in 1901, 59 in 1951 and decreasing slightly to 55 by 2001. [2]
