Orrell, Greater Manchester
Orrell is a ward of the Metropolitan Borough of Wigan, Greater Manchester, England. The centre of the area lies to the west of Wigan town centre and serves as a predominantly residential suburb of Wigan. 〔http://www.bradshawmedicalcentre.nhs.uk/website/P92008/files/Voice_Connect_CS_Bradshaw_Medical_Centre.pdf〕 The area is contiguous with the district of Pemberton.
Historically in Lancashire, Orrell was a centre of the coal mining industry, though today no evidence of the area's industrial past is present. The electoral ward of Orrell has a population of 11,203,〔Figures taken from (Orrell ), 2001 England & Wales Census, neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk. URLs accessed 16 February 2007.〕 however, the ward covers a larger area also containing parts of Billinge and Winstanley.
==History==
Orrell derives from the Anglo Saxon ''ora'' and ''hyll'', a hill where ore is dug. It has been variously recorded as Horul in 1212, Orel in 1292, Orhull in 1294 and Orul in 1307 and subsequently known as Orrell-in-Makerfield.〔()〕 It was the extreme north-west berewick of the manor of Newton-in-Makerfield before the Norman Conquest of England..
In 1212 the manor was held by Richard de Orrell but became divided and was acquired by the Hollands of Upholland and descended to the Lovels and subsequently to the Earls of Derby. After several changes of ownership it belonged to Roger Leigh of Aspull.〔 Orrell was the family name of a number of landowners in the area and branches of the Orrell family held small estates here for centuries. There are records from 1558 showing William Orrell living at Orrell Hall.〔
