History
Euxton's original village settlement in Pincock was based near the ford over the River Yarrow, along the route of the old Roman road (A49) that runs through the length of the village.
The manorial seat was Euxton Hall owned first by the Molyneux family and later by the Anderton family and the centre of the village later moved from the old ford to be closer to Euxton Hall and its chapel (now Euxton Parish Church).
