1854 Auction
The Warley Cornmills were owned by The Murgatroyd family for most of the time from the 13th Century until the mid 1850’s. The last Murgatroyds to run the mills were brothers Hartley (1797-1865) and John (1799-1873).
The brother's seem to have got into some financial difficulties and had to sell 19 buildings in Luddenden and the surrounding valley including the Cornmills. These were sold at an auction held at the Murgatroyd Arms on 19th July 1854, neither of the Mills sold on the day, but both change hands shortly afterwards.
The brochure includes two maps that give a detailed view of the village and show all the properties that are on sale.
