Crawshawbooth Meeting House stands hard by an old Pack-horse bridge over the little River Limy to which descend, right and left, two ancient moorland roads, the one from Haslingden and the other from Accrington.
At the time the meeting house was built Crawshawbooth was a mere hamlet, a handful of houses occupied by people who were spinners and weavers in wool and farmers as well.
The property was surrendered by John Hoyle (of Haslingden probably) in trust for Friends of Crawshawbooth Meeting and the trustees were admitted tenants on the roll on the 11th of May in the same year, the transaction being confirmed by the Halmot Court.
