History Addingham's history can be traced back to late Mesolithic, Neolithic early Bronze Age. Since the glaciated valleys of the Aire and Ribble created an easy route between the east and west of the Pennines across the Rombalds Moor which is the highest point between Skipton and Addingham. Along this route there are remains of early man in the form of flint tools. Although the only evidence of a settlement was from the Iron Age when major tree clearance took place in approximately 700 B.C. There are remains of hand querns which are known to have been used in the Iron Age to ground corn. These have been found on the Addingham Moorside.

Cloth fulling had been carried out for more than five centuries. As far back as 1568 the will of William Atkinson of Addingham states that he left to his son-in-law one loom. After a slump in cloth making during the late seventeenth century, a revival took place when the trade became rather different from what it had used to be. Wool buyers brought wool back to the warehouse where it was sorted and send out to be combed (worsted) and spun. Fulling is a step in clothmaking which involves the cleansing of cloth (particularly wool) to get rid of oils, dirt, and other impurities. ...
