With the founding of Stonyhurst Hall, by Richard Shireburn in 1592, the hamlet of Hurst Green (about a mile away) began to develop, as often happened after the building of manor houses. The hamlet’s development continued once the college was founded in 1794, and by the early 20th century the village was about the size it is now, with approximately 500 residents. |
