History
Aighton was mentioned in 1870 in the Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales by John Marius Wilson, who wrote:[3]
AIGHTON, one of three hamlets forming a township in the parish of Mitton, Lancashire. It lies near Hodder river, under Longridge fell, 3½ miles NNW of Whalley r. station, and 5 WSW of Clitheroe. It contains cotton factories, a workhouse, and the Roman Catholic college of Stonyhurst. The other hamlets of the township are Bailey and Chaighley. Acres in the three, 5,780. Real property, £6,726. Pop., 1,500. Houses, 244.
The operator of Chaigley Farms was unsuccessful in a 1996 high court case related to the legal concept of a retention of title clause. The farms had sold livestock to an abattoir under a contract incorporating such a clause, intended to protect the seller's financial interests until they have been paid by the buyer. The goods were sold as "livestock"; the judge, Garland J., held that upon slaughter the carcasses were no longer "livestock" and that subsequent treatment, removing the parts which were not to be sold on as butchers' meat, extinguished the farms' title to the property.[4][5]
Governance
Aighton, Bailey and Chaigley was once a part of the ancient parish of Mitton. This became a civil parish in 1866, forming part of the Clitheroe Rural District from 1894 till 1974.[6]
Aighton, Bailey and Chaigley also gives its name to a ward of Ribble Valley Borough Council. [7][8] The ward elects a single councillor, who currently is Janet Alcock of the Conservative Party.[9]
