Amounderness

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Amounderness (Andernes in ancient times) is an area of England. In its most recent incarnation it was a hundred of Lancashire. Previously the name had been used for territories now in Lancashire and north of the River Ribble, that had been included in the Domesday Book's Yorkshire section.

The hundred of Amounderness corresponds to the present-day administrative districts of Fylde, Wyre, Preston and part of Ribble Valley (north of the Ribble and within the historic boundaries of Lancashire). It included Bispham, Blackpool, Broughton-in-Amounderness, Chipping, Cockerham, Garstang, Kirkham, Knott End-on-Sea, Lancaster, Mitton, Pilling, Preesall, Poulton-le-Fylde, Preston, and Ribchester.
