Rimington is a rural village and civil parish in the Ribble Valley, Lancashire, England. It is east of Clitheroe and south of the A59 road. The village consists of the hamlets of Howgill, Martin Top, Newby and Stopper Lane, and was formerly in the West Riding of Yorkshire.[2] Boulton (Bolton) listed in land deeds of 1302,[3] and Robert Elwald son of Alan listed 1304.[4] The parish council is called Rimington and Middop, and is shared with Middop, a small rural parish east of Rimington with a population of 43 at the 2001 census, (2001 Census)[5]

The village was listed in the Domesday Book as "Renistone".

Since Tudor times, until the late 19th century, lead mining was an important industry around the village. At one time silver was derived as a by-product of the mining, to the extent that Queen Elizabeth I declared the Stopper Lane Mine as being a Mine Royal.[6]

Francis Duckworth (1862–1941) was born in the village, and composed several hymn tunes including one named after the village.[7] There is a plaque to his memory was placed above the doorway to the former Methodist Chapel in Stopper Lane.
