Bilsborrow
The settlement of Bilsborrow and Myerscough is often referred to as Bilsborrow Village. Bilsborrow is referred to in the Doomsday Book as "Bilevurd" taking its name from a Danish King "Billin". It is situated 3½ miles (6km) South East of Garstang on the banks of the Lancaster Canal. Built in 1618 Matsfarm is the oldest building in the area. The oldest parts of the farm are the remains of a wattle and daub cottage. There are no remains of the original Myerscough Hall or Myerscough Lodge, which was the home of Tyldesley the Roman Catholic recusant, who's diary portrays life between 1712 - 1714 in the area.
