More about this scene
As well as being in the West Riding, Saddleworth was also in the wapentake of Agbrigg. Wapentake literally means 'show of weapons', and was the old Danish way of voting. All those eligible would attend an open-air meeting where they would discuss and then vote on laws, or make resolutions, by raising their swords, axes or spears. The district is also divided into four meres, an old term for boundary, comprising Quickmere, Shawmere, Lordsmere, and Friarsmere; they come together at Delph.
