It is situated between Bamber Bridge and Leyland, and has a population of 77.〔(Office for National Statistics : ''Census 2001 : Parish Headcounts : Chorley'' ) Retrieved 6 February 2010〕 ==History== The name speculatively derives from the Welsh ''cerdin'', the plural of ''cerdinen'', "rowan", although the nearby Cuerdale derives from an Anglo-Saxon personal name. The manor was given to Vivian Molyneux by Roger de Poitou and devolved to the Banastres, Charnocks, Langtons, and Fleetwoods. The manor house, Cuerden Hall, is a country house begun in the 1717 on the site of a 17th-century house, and extended between 1816-19 by Lewis Wyatt.
