The placename element eaves is Old English and refers to Bashall's location on the borders of the Forest of Bowland. Historically, the village is part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, but was transferred to Lancashire for administrative purposes on 1 April 1974, under the provisions of the Local Government Act 1972.
According to the 2001 census, the parish of Bashall Eaves had a population of 162.[1] It covers an area of almost 4000 acres. The village is home to The Red Pump Inn, a post office, a telephone box and a selection of farms. One mile to the east of the village is Bashall Town farm, now home to "Bashall Barn"- a farm shop/restaurant and also "Bowland Brewery"[1]. Close by Bashall Town farm is Bashall Hall.

History

Historically, Bashall or "Beckshalgh" which means the hill by the brooks, formed part of the ancient Lordship of Bowland which comprised a Royal Forest and a Liberty of ten manors spanning eight townships and four parishes and covered an area of almost Lua error in Module:Convert at line 1851: attempt to index local 'en_value' (a nil value). on the historic borders of Lancashire and Yorkshire.[2] The manors within the Liberty were Slaidburn (Newton-in-Bowland, West Bradford, Grindleton), Knowlmere, Waddington, Easington, Bashall, Mitton, Withgill (Crook), Leagram, Hammerton and Dunnow (Battersby).[3]
The manor of Bashall was granted by Edmund de Lacy, 6th Lord of Bowland, to Thomas Talbot in 1253. It remained in the Talbot family until the early seventeenth century. The Talbot Arms at Chipping commemorates the family's close association with the town. The Taylor family were lords of the manor from 1806.[4] There is still a fine Georgian manor house close to Bashall Eaves.
In 1934, there was a murder in the village; when detectives investigated the shooting of Jim Dawson, they were met with a "wall of silence" from local residents, and the crime is still unsolved.[5]
Governance
The civil parish was created from the ancient township of Bashall Eaves in 1866.[6] It currently shares a parish council with the neighbouring civil parishes of Great Mitton and Little Mitton.
